Set 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 father’s 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.

August Shroeder, a burned-out teacher, has been sober since his 19-year-old son died. Every year he’s spent the summer on the road, but making it to Yellowstone this year means everything. The plan had been to travel there with his son, but now August is making the trip with Philip’s ashes instead. An unexpected twist of fate lands August with two extra passengers for his journey, two half-orphans with nowhere else to go. What none of them could have known was how transformative both the trip - and the bonds that develop between them- would prove....

Tracy K. Smith has a fairly typical upbringing in suburban California: the youngest in a family of five children raised with limitless affection and a firm belief in God by a stay-at-home mother and an engineer father. But after spending a summer in Alabama at her grandmother's home, she returns to California with a new sense of what it means for her to be Black: from her mother's memories of picking cotton as a girl in her father's field for pennies a bushel to her parents' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Revisado: 04-04-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It is my story.....or very close to it! I totally get it!
What did you like best about this story?
Smith’s description of what “home” is floored me. I knew after 20 minutes this book had me hooked. I listened to it in one day. I absolutely identify with this book. The words, cadence, story…all of it! This is a great memoir. If you happen to be from Northern, California you will find yourself absolutely hooked. Loved…loved…loved this book.
Which scene was your favorite?
There are too many. Again the description of home was perfection.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed and cried.
