"Demon Copperhead cleverly re-imagines Dickens’s story, David Copperfield in a modern-day rural American South, wrought with hunger, cruelty and addiction. Despite the constant challenges life throws at Demon, his resiliency and determination to survive overpower any obstacle he faces.This is a coming of age story of hope that all should consider as a rallying cry for America’s concern for its lower classes." --NHSL nomination
