Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Young Adult — 2022 Finalist“Instead of remaining silent, she chose to speak out … That’s the power of one person.” — Barack ObamaThe inspiring story of Angeline Jackson, who stood up to Jamaica’s oppression of queer youth to demand recognition and justice.When Angeline Jackson was a child, she wondered if there was something wrong with her for wanting to kiss the other girls. But as her sexuality blossomed in her teens, she knew she wouldn’t “grow out of it” and that her attraction to girls wasn’t against God. In fact, she discovered that same-sex relationships were depicted in the Bible, which she read devoutly, even if the tight-knit evangelical Christian community she grew up in believed any sexual relationship outside of marriage between a man and woman was a sin, and her society, Jamaica, criminalized homosexual sex.Angeline’s story begins with her traumatic experience of “corrective rape” when she is lured by an online predator, then traces her childhood through her sexual and spiritual awakening as a teen — falling in love, breaking up, coming out, and then being forced into conversion therapy.Sometimes dark, always threadbare and honest, Funny Gyal chronicles how Angeline’s faith deepens as a teenager, despite her parents’ conservative values and the strict Christian Jamaican society in which she lives, giving her the courage to challenge gender violence, rape culture, and oppression.

Matthew, like other young children, loves to play outdoors. But when the region's annual haze-pollutive smog at its worst-comes around, Matthew is forced to stay indoors. Ever curious, he asks, "Why can't I see the sky?" In this delightful children's story, Wind blames the burning Trees in the forests. Trees, in turn, blame the tinderbox-like Peat soil, which in turn points the finger at Man, who says he needs fertile soil to grow his crops. Finally, Matthew asks, "How can we get back clearer days?" The included suggested questions enable adults to use the storyline to help children find out more and to appreciate the urgency of sustaining this precious Earth. One reviewer says (Ms Felicia Choon, a primary school teacher), "I wished that the children who read this book can be empowered with the knowledge that they make a difference in their own small ways. If I were to read this book in class, it would definitely pathed its way into a lengthy discussion on what we can do here to help with the situation there." This is the third book in the Matthew series. The other two, also published by Partridge, are "Matthew and the Thirsty Sun" and "Matthew's Stacking Cups."

She would have liked to pursue a career in journalism but settled in for a career as a full-time writer with the Jodhpur and Jaipur Polo magazines; she is currently the Associate Editor for these souvenir magazines. Having spent her formative teen years at boarding school in Mussoorie. "Growing up, I was greatly influenced by Ruskin Bond's and R.K Narayan's writing styles- simple yet touching and memorable." "The life we led on with missionary parents who served tirelessly- conditioned my brother Kim & myself to respect hard work and remain humble." But the turning point in her life, she adds with a laugh, came when she met her future husband in 1996. "Marrying the army type was never something I wanted- but his presence and our daughter's - has made all the difference " "These stories are a part of my life's landscape, which has inspired them, greatly. From Calcutta to the Thar, the Rann, to the hills. These are people I have known, seen, touched, in some way or the other." "I hope my words are painting a picture in your mind- if yes, then I must be doing it right "
