Description
This is the story of five children born into a life of poverty and abuse. Their world falls apart around them and they are helpless to stop it. By age ten, the oldest boy, Kevin, is molded into a vengeful demon sent straight from Hell.
A Family Chronology
The children:
Kathleen is the first-born. From the time she is old enough to care for the others, she is the single force that holds the family together.
Kevin is the oldest son � he and Kathleen stand back-to-back until the bitter end.
Artie, Joey & Jean are the three youngest.
The family:
A mother and father who are void of paternal instinct.
Gramps is the only adult the children can believe in.
Relatives all share an open hatred for young Kevin.
The good guys:
Local lawmen, teachers, social workers and others that try in vain to stop the inevitable.
The bad guys:
Unscrupulous men in charge of the social services department, clansmen who have no respect for law and order, cruel foster homes, schoolyard bullies and a sadistic uncle.
