I love Barbara Kingsolver's writing and I was happy that after a long wait to get it, I got a copy of her book, Demon Copperhead. I could hardly put it down. Set in southern Appalachia, this book is a rework of Charles Dicken's book, David Copperfield. The story is narrated by Demon from his birth in a single-wide trailer until he is in his 30's. The book explores poverty, drug addiction, child labor, child neglect, foster care, and the school system. This was just a truly excellent story.
