A SECOND CITY STORM

 

 

The Devane family from Northern Ireland settle for a new life in the heart of England, until the City erupts.

 

On this day, November 21st 1974, the heart of Birmingham explodes at the hands of the terrorist group, PIRA. Considered to be one of the worst attacks of terror in UK history, it will begin a journey into personal suffering, hatred, and broken family bonds for the Devane family. As one nightmare ends, another begins.

 

 

Going Away

 

For young Emmet, growing up is no longer about getting taller, but watching his family grow smaller.

 

Things change because things do, and change is something that is happening far too quickly for Emmet. His small safe world is unfolding, opening up to new realities and comprehensions he would rather not have, as those he loves, those who surround him are going away.


Going Away is a light hearted yet poignant short memoir of a young boy trying to make sense of his experience in a changing home environment.
