About this ebook
A tacit understanding between Peter and the girls of the Lost Girls’ village has enabled him to live amongst them dressed as a girl, to be a leading figure in their work on healing and to be a soloist in their choir. But that delicate balance is about to be challenged. A trio of boisterous transgender youth, calling themselves the Colourful People, find their way to the Lost Girls’ village seeking refuge from the harassment of their parents, doctors and the police. In many ways the two groups diverge, especially in their approach to life and each other, making any cohabitation a daunting task. However, both have a fierce will to be themselves in the face of determined opposition from society and it is the need to counter mutual foes that finally unites them in their battle.
Alan McCluskey
Alan McCluskey lives amid the vineyards in a small Swiss village between three lakes and a range of mountains. Nearby, several thousands of years earlier, lakeside villages housed a thriving Celtic community. The ever-present heart-beat of that world continues to fuel his long-standing fascination for magic and fantasy.All Alan McCluskey’s books are about the self-empowerment of the young, girls in particular, in a world that tends to curtail their opportunities, belittle their abilities and discourage them from doing great things. His books also explore the difficulties of those whose gender and sexuality lie beyond the dominant binary divide between boy and girl. His goal in writing fiction is to imagine inspiring ways forward, despite the difficulties thrown in the way of these young people.
