by John Samsson

When Satan Smiles sheds a fictional light on the historic events that took place in Ireland during the early 1900's, and how those events impacted members of five families. Follow these families as their lives are constantly impacted by those historical events. Family members are faced with many choices in their lives; for some, the choices are beneficial, but for others, they are all too ruinous.

Love, truth, honesty, and friendship will always prevail.
