Publisher Comments

“This is not just a luminescent work, it is a transcendent and transformative one. Jill Malone finds and plays the desperate times of the teenaged years like an old Gibson. The reader is instantly, effortlessly, back in those halls of high school, the auditoriums and locker rooms and gyms, the whispered conversations in the library, solving math problems on the phone, sneaking out late at night, wondering, always wondering, if you have gone too far this time, or not far enough. . . . Malone continues to delight with each new book. Her writing reveals a sure, deft skill at the subtleties and ever-changing emotions of characters as they grow and progress. . . . Malone is the real thing, a novelist of great touch and tone, like a fine musician, the kind who play because they love the music and look up at the end of a song, surprised to find an audience.” —Lesbian.com, June 4, 2013

Between God and the army, fifteen-year-old Cole Peters has more than enough to rebel against. But this Chaplains daughter isnt resorting to drugs or craziness. Truth to tell, shes content with her soccer team and her band and her white bread boyfriend.

And then, of course, theres Meghan.

Meghan is eighteen years old and preparing for entry into West Point. For this she has sponsors: Coles parents. Theyre delighted their daughter is finally looking up to someone. Someone who can tutor her and be a friend.

But one night that relationship changes and Coles world flips.

Giraffe People is a potent reminder of the rites of passage and passion that we all endure on our road to growing up and growing strong. Award-winning author Jill Malone tells a story of coming out and coming of age, giving us a take that is both subtle and fresh.
