Sujaya Devi is a Canadian-Indo-Trinidadian author. Sujaya writes about realities that are often concealed. The title, Devil, is a play on her middle name. Devi, a Sanskrit name, means ‘of excellence, heavenly, or goddess.’ Sujaya contrasts the negative experiences and emotions associated with mental health and relationships with the expectations of excellence that come with being a strong female figure fighting internal and external battles.
