I was inspired to write SERPENT BOX by a photograph of a young boy holding a handmade box with a live rattle snake inside. From a single moment captured on film a story of faith and the meaning of God began.
Born inside the hollow of an infamous lynching tree, young Jacob Flint embarks upon a journey of hope and self-discovery in rural Appalachia.
"In this beautifully written debut novel Carrella sweeps readers into a vividly rendered world of a family of Pentecostal preachers." Booklist
SERPENT BOX is a story about the power of love and redemption
