Terry Iwanski's “The Headhunter's Granddaughter” will be among the works put forward by ReadersMagnet as the company prepares for its participation at the 2026 London Book Fair (LBF). Scheduled for March 10-12, 2026, at Olympia London, London, UK, the book trade fair continues its legacy as one of the world's leading publishing gatherings. Under the theme “Stories Without Limits – Creativity Unleashed,” the LBF 2026 brings together publishers, authors, copyright professionals, commissioners, global licensers, and industry innovators to explore ideas, forge connections, and help shape the future of creative content.
Published by ReadersMagnet, “The Headhunter's Granddaughter” presents the true story of Pedo AK Rupa, who grew up deep in the jungles of Borneo, Malaysia. With twelve children to care for, her parents gave her away to her father's brother, a cruel man who forced her into child labor tapping rubber trees to earn money. Her childhood, marked by hardship and survival, forms the foundation of this narrative.
The book captures the realities faced by a young girl whose life was shaped by necessity rather than choice. Through Pedo's story, the narrative reveals the emotional weight of abandonment, the physical demands of labor, and the resilience formed in extreme conditions.
Author Terry Iwanski brings a reflective perspective shaped by his upbringing in the 1950s. Raised during the era of Elvis and Bob Dylan, his worldview expanded with the cultural shifts of the 1960s. These experiences shaped his appreciation for memory, growth, and the value of meaningful life stories.
“The Headhunter's Granddaughter” stands as a grounded true-life account, offering readers a window into a difficult but powerful personal history. Readers can order a copy through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ReadersMagnet Bookstore. Visit Terry Iwanski's website: https://www.iwanskiterry.net/.
