Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead) is on the Radar!

BOOKSTORM: Deep Dive Into Best-Selling Fiction

New York Times bestselling author and internationally known essayist/poet BARBARA KINGSOLVER joins BOOKSTORM to discuss her newest novel, Demon Copperhead! Although Appalachia is the locale for this life-changing novel, we dove deep into its resilient people and our common humanity. We talk about our innate need to be loved, accepted, nurtured, and cared for. What happens when these essential needs aren’t met early in life? We all know people — and we’re likely one of them — who spent a good part of their adulthood pursuing that love and affirmation. We examine the importance of mentors, friendships, and friends-like-family. And in between these absorbing topics, we also discuss addiction, compassion, poverty, under-funded educational systems, facts that get lost in politics, the mining industry, the foster care system, and the need for and importance of a mammaw. Join us as we “look to the child.” You’ll be so glad you did.
