IT’S THE DEVIL HIMSELF
It’s The Devil Himself is a remarkable true story set in rural Ireland in 1961.
It follows Kevin, a young adopted Black child, navigating extreme physical, emotional, and racial abuse while struggling to belong.
At the centre of the story is his adoptive mother, Kitty — the primary source of his suffering — yet one he never stopped loving.
All proceeds from the book support survivors of the Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland.
