DEMON COPPERHEAD BOOK CLUB Thursday, August 17 at 7:00pm Makosky home (1040 Hyacinth Ave. E., Saint Paul, MN) Barbara Kingsolver takes a literary classic and makes it her own, peering into the dark corners not of Dickensian England, but of present day in the neglected hollers of Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains. Damon Fields, nicknamed Demon Copperhead, came into the world already behind the eight ball of life, and before long he’s in foster care placements that resemble work camps more than loving homes. This coming of age novel places the reader in his shoes as he navigates life on his own while the OxyContin crisis sweeps his county. At once both painful to read and difficult to put down, Demon's voice will capture your heart and his story will stay with you long after the final chapter comes to a close. Join Kate Makosky for our final book club this summer as we discuss this novel, learn from other's perspectives, and grow our empathy and understanding together.
