中文简介：

故事从Demon的出生开始讲述，他在一辆单人拖车上出生，看起来“像一个蓝色的小斗士”。对于未来的生活，他需要战斗精神、魅力、机智和一些意想不到的才能，包括法律等其他方面。

在弗吉尼亚州南部的阿巴拉契亚山脉，贫穷不是一个概念，它就像草的生长一样自然。对于在这个世界上成长起来的一代人来说，在现代阿片类药物泛滥危机的中心，成瘾不是一个抽象的概念，它就发生在邻居、父母和朋友身上。“家庭”可以是爱，也可以是不情愿的寄养。对于生不逢时的Demon来说，他所渴望的亲情和安全就像他梦想着有一天能看到的大海一样遥远。奇妙之处在于他愿意走多远来尝试到达那里。

本书充满了真实、愤怒和同情，是一个关于爱和失去的故事。

英文简介：

Demon's story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise.

In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn't an idea, it's as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn't an abstraction, it's neighbours, parents, and friends. 'Family' could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he's willing to travel to try and get there.

Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between.
