Books for Breakfast: Demon Copperhead

Each month we discuss a book which the group has chosen at the end of the previous year.

In May 2026, we will discuss Demon Copperhead, by famous novelist Barbara Kingsolver, a modern retelling of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield. This story is set in southern Appalachia and focuses on the opioid crisis, poverty, and systemic failures through the eyes of an orphan named Damon Fields. He uses his good looks, wit, and instincts to survive foster care, child labor, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

We will try to have the book for our NEXT MONTH's meeting available for our members to check out. If you are new to the group, you can place a hold yourself, or contact Julia S. to help you get a hold of the book for the upcoming meeting. 

At Books for Breakfast we try to have coffee and tea available, usually one of the members brings a snack or treat, based on a schedule we create at an earlier meeting. The food & coffee is incidental to the book discussion.
