FERGUSON, JEN

JEN FERGUSON is Michif/Métis and white, an activist, an intersectional feminist, an auntie, and an accomplice armed with a PhD in English and creative writing. Her favorite ice-cream flavor is mint chocolate chip. Jen’s The Summer of Bitter and Sweet is a complex and emotionally resonant book about a Métis girl living on the Canadian prairies. This debut YA novel serves up a powerful story about rage, secrets, and all the spectrums that make up a person—and the sweetness that can still live alongside the bitterest truth.
