27:36 she is so gloriously intellectually honest to say the very very least 🎉 Half of my people are Appalachia, my daddy moved to Georgia to work in the cotton Mill with a 6th grade education after it became very difficult to get in the coal mine. I will never forget our yearly trips to see family oh my gosh, I thought it really was almost heaven. Some of the sweetest most humble people you will ever meet in your life. Didn't even notice the poverty until I was an adult. Us kids would go down to the 'Orange Creek' at the bottom of the hill .. we thought that it was another miracle of nature lol. It was sulfur runoff from the coal mines. My granddaddy would only let us go so far along the trails in the mountain, now we know why, we weren't supposed to see everything.😅 Thankfully this was before the opioid crisis. 😢
I really wish the few graphic sexual details could have been left out cuz I would love to recommend this to my teens but I can't be the one to recommend it to them.
Am illuminating interview by two brilliant and influential women. A great balm for my disappointment that I finished Demon Copperhead and can’t keep reading! (I loved it. I’m a Northern Virginian who grew up vacationing in Highland County, VA and a lot of the places and concepts resonated with me).
Hi Barbbara, I have to say that this is the first time that I've read any of your books but I know that it want be the last. Demon Copperhead is the greatest book that could describe my home. If you took one step over the Estill Co line you would be in Lee County..... I'm sure that you have been to see Furnace Mountain, the first time that I've ever got in trouble for staying out to late was when I visited a girl that I graduated high school with and I stayed out of the house to late to suite my mom and dad. I was around 20 years old at the time but I never saw that girl again after that night. I can't say that I've spent much time in Lee County but only because I never had a reason to go back they're very much. My husband and I did attend the Wooley Worm Festival several years back but it's one of the things like I've been there and done that and I don't need to do it again. I've only been to the Mushroom Festival once and that was because I was in Estill Co for my brother's Memorial service. I don't go back home very often but I love reading about the area. Have a great day, Debbie
One of the best books I've ever read. Incredible writing. It'll haunt me for a very long time.
Demon Copperhead reminded me of my work with families and children in Eastern Kentucky. What a beautiful and hauntingly realistic work.

Great Book. Catcher in The Rye type voice meets David Copperfield
