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.

The opioid crisis in rural America
Revisado: 01-06-23
A great novel focusing on rural poverty, big Pharma and hope. It is also a story about the state welfare system, children in need and the state’s neglect of the powerless.

From the day that old Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a bridge, the life of a small Mexican town forever changed. Disfigured and covered in a blanket of bees, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff of superstition, a child kissed by the devil. But he is welcomed by landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales, who adopt him and care for him. As he grows up, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes, he can see what no one else can - visions of all that’s yet to come, both beautiful and dangerous.

A Novel for the Ages
Revisado: 09-25-20
Partly allegory, this book is a mystical journey through the Mexican Revolution, land reform, the 1918 pandemic, wars, but through the eyes of an ordinary Mexican family. It is the most thought provoking audible I have listened to this year.

Returning to the UK in September 2010 after serving in Iraq as the political adviser to the top American general, Emma Sky felt no sense of homecoming. She soon found herself back in the Middle East traveling through a region in revolt. In a Time of Monsters bears witness to the demands of young people for dignity and justice during the Arab Spring; the inability of sclerotic regimes to reform; the descent of Syria into civil war; the rise of the Islamic State; and the flight of refugees to Europe.

What every American needs to understand the Middle Rast
Revisado: 03-15-20
This book is an essential read for every American. Especially as we shrink with fear of globalization and fail to recognize the common humanity we share with all of our brothers and sisters on our planet. Beautifully written and spoken. Thank you Emma Sky for your bravery in daring to open our closed hearts!
