A moving and lyrical memoir about life, love and loss, from a true
giant of Gaelic games. In a frenetic seven-year spell at the outset
of his senior managerial career, Mickey Harte led Tyrone to four
Ulster Championships and three All-Irelands. It was a run that
shifted football's balance of power, changed the way the game would
be played for over a generation, and cemented his reputation as one
of the most transformative figures in GAA history. Then, in January
2011, the visitation of a shocking tragedy changed everything:
Mickey's daughter Michaela was murdered while on honeymoon in
Mauritius, and the Harte family, grief-stricken, awoke to find
themselves at the centre of an international news story. Devotion,
the product of a collaboration between Mickey and author Brendan
Coffey, is many things. The story of a family's decade-long
struggle to come to terms with an almost unimaginable loss. A
meditation on the ways in which faith, community, and sport can
sustain us in our most difficult moments. And, finally, a portrait
of one of Irish sport's true icons, as he brings one legendary era
to a close and steels himself for a final assault on the history
