Demon Copperhead Roger Cockrell from the crusading knight toSet in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead fathers good looks and copper colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.
