Meat, including freshly slaughtered, hunted, and fished animals. During the family reunion scene, a character brings a large dead turtle to make turtle soup. The description of the turtle is somewhat intense. Later on, many animals die in a hurricane

When Ralph Angel was a child, and Charley was just born, he acted out a lot because he was jealous of his father paying more attention to her than to him. This escalated to the point of Ralph Angel force-feeding Charley water while they were both left unattended.

Ralph Angel has sex with a woman he meets in a bar. The narrative only describes the leadup and aftermath, though. Charley also has a sexual encounter later on, but same thing. Very little description.

Before the events of the book Micah was burned severely on her arm while trying to cook. She survived the burning, but she has scars in the present narrative which she is self-conscious about.

It's a bit nuanced. One of the protagonist's relatives is a prison guard, and that is discussed positively. However, spoiler, the climax of the book is Ralph Angel being killed by a police officer.

Ralph Angel and Blue struggle in water, but they end up fine. Ralph Angel later tells Blue the Bible story of Noah's Ark, and Blue is unsettled by the drowning in that narrative.

The premise is that the protagonist's father dies and leaves her a farm. Her husband, the father of her son, died before the events of the book. Ralph Angel's wife Gwenna also died before the events of the book. Ralph Angel, who is a parent, dies in the end.

In a manner of speaking, yes. Blue, a child, is told to pee in a cup while in the back seat of a car. His dad then tells him to throw the cup out of the window. Because he's a child and uncoordinated, he accidentally spills it on himself. This is in chapter 2. Later on, there is a flashback where Blue soils his pants.
