'Ain't It Just Like a Human' is the real-life story of Kevin O'Connor, a remarkable, ordinary man, spanning his bittersweet childhood in post-war Dublin to his turbulent family life in England. It is a story about the complexities of being human - the blundering mix of hope, fear, love and regret.In a rollercoaster life, the highs include travelling around Europe with just ten pounds in his pocket and becoming the first person to change UK law by going to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The lows include the fear of his dad coming home each night and the regret of having all six of his own children taken into care. In his seventy-six years, Kevin has heard tales of the IRA, been caught up in fraud, violence and child abduction and has put his heart and soul into martial arts, country music and charity work. 'Ain't It Just Like a Human' reveals how these experiences have shaped Kevin's personality and given him an upliftingly positive outlook on life.
