A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Appalachian Reimagining of David Copperfield and Opioid Epidemic Survival
Born in a trailer in Lee County, Virginia, to a teenage mother, Damon Fields—nicknamed Demon Copperhead—enters the world with his mother's copper hair and steep odds. Shuttled through foster care, abusive guardians, and grueling farm labor following family tragedies, Demon finds temporary sanctuary as a high school football star.
When a knee injury leads to prescription OxyContin dependence, Demon experiences the full impact of the opioid crisis in rural Appalachia. Reimagining Charles Dickens's David Copperfield, Demon uses artistic talent and sharp humor to navigate survival and recovery.
