I highly recommend Salvation on Sand Mountain: Snake-Handling and Redemption in Southern Appalachia. It is based on an attempted murder case in north east Alabama. Covington was assigned to cover the case. Then he became fascinated by the people involved in this religious sub-culture to the point where he began to participate in the services. Covington seems to have often lived on the edge covering other stories.
