Salvation on Sand Mountain: Snake-Handling and Redemption in Southern Appalachia by Dennis Covington

4.0

This book definitely surprised me. Covington captures a culture I am not familiar with and presents it in a way that is engaging, hilarious, and heartbreaking. Sometimes simultaneously. A master of nonfiction, Covington pulls the reader into the world of snake-handling but by the end, I wasn't thinking this group were weirdos or extremists; they were complex, multi-faceted individuals acting as part of something true for themselves.

Weird and inspiring, this book definitely left it's mark.
