Congratulations to LGBTQ human rights activist Angeline Jackson and award-winning writer Susan McClelland, and to Scott Fraser at Dundurn Press for their world-rights deal for THE POWER OF ONE PERSON (YA memoir, fall 2022), a title chosen from words spoken in an address by President Obama about Jackson’s ordeal and efforts. Told from her POV as a young girl and rape survivor in Jamaica, Jackson comes to terms with her sexuality and forges a path forward by creating safe spaces and unprecedented support for Jamaican LGBTQ communities. The deal was arranged by Rob Firing.
