Foreword
Cody Coots is a fourth-generation "Signs Follower." His childhood was anything but normal.
At age 6, he started handling fake serpents with his sister Trina. They used leather belts for props. Such was life in East Kentucky. Cody's congregation of believers proclaimed themselves to be the truest followers of an "Old Time Religion."
Cody tries his best to have a normal childhood: He rides his bike, practices drums on pots and pans in the kitchen, and even watches WWE Wrestling with his dad Jamie – one of the most famous serpent-handling preachers of all time.
When an unspeakable act of evil leaves Cody devastated at 8 years old, Cody turns his wrath upon his parents, his church, his God, and even himself.
