They wanted to break him. He refused to bow.

Fourteen-year-old Malachi is brilliant, self-assured, and quietly furious. He's gay. He's an atheist. And he's the son of a Baptist pastor.

When his parents send him to a Christian "conversion" camp, Malachi arrives armed with arguments and defiance, ready to endure, maybe even escape. But what begins as manipulation and shame soon turns into something far more dangerous, a place where control is absolute, obedience is enforced, and violence wears a holy face.

As the rules tighten and the punishments deepen, Malachi fights to hold onto the only things they can't take from him: his love for another boy, and the voice inside him that refuses to be silenced.

The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Malachi the Queer is a bold, unflinching LGBTQ+ coming-of-age novel about faith, survival, first love, and the courage to stay true to yourself when the world tries to erase you.

Perfect for readers of Boy Erased, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, and They Both Die at the End.
