Y42K Publishing

“The Southie Pact” is about the damage that drugs do to ordinary people and to their community. How drugs ruin the lives of those who succumb to their unyielding grasp and the lives of those left behind to suffer the pain. It’s also a story of hope and our faith in each other as we travel through life and face each new day with renewed strength and optimism.

The main plot is about a group of teenagers in South Boston, who lose a friend due to a drug overdose, and form a “Pact” not to let this happen again. But life isn’t quite as obliging as they sadly discover in subsequent years. The book is fiction, and although the setting is in Southie, the drug epidemic has caused heartbreak and death in every other community in this nation; and is not just a Southie problem.

Kevin Devlin, who was a City of Boston public servant for 38 years, grew up in the Savin Hill section of Dorchester, raised his family in South Boston, and then, he and his wife Mary, moved to Milton in 2015. (Contact information is: 617-834-8489 or [email protected].)
