Moondance at Midnight is a beautifully written story which takes the reader across the continents from America Australia and UK. It tells the true story of one mother's battle for her son in a world where there is no place for those who do not fit into the bureacratic square. A fight for her son's survival and after subsequent diagnosis of Autism a fight to ensure he reached his natural potential.
It is a story of endurance love adventure and most of all hope.



Excerpt

"...Being called a bad mother shot through my body like a burning bullet, destroying my already precarious psyche. Hurtful, cutting words so profound, so deep, so uncalled for they continue to drift in and out of my conscious mind, haunting me to this very day..."


Professional Reviews

Alexa B. Parent Moondance at Midnight
"A totally engrossing story which comes from deep within the heart. It brings back memories of my son's earlier years with Autism. The attitude 'of professionals' towards parents is daunting and frightening. I had never felt more like a stupid parent..."

Anita H. (Occupational Therapist 28 years experience working with children and families with Autism and other challenges) Moondance at Midnight
"... an emotional experience... I found it very powerful and felt that it was important reading for professionals who work with parents and their children (with Autism and/or other challenges). It gave me a strong sense of the isolation Celia felt, and of her heartbreak, but also of her great joy. I honestly felt the strength of Celia's love for her child could be felt on every page..."

Alison Mooney Launching Moondance The Whitsunday Times
"...Juscelia is not your everyday author, nor is her book 'Moondance at Midnight' your everyday story. Beautifully written and spacious Juscelia leaves plenty of room for the reader to join her on the journey.
Events unfold and the drama, while very real given it's based on the actual events leading up to and following the 'official diagnosis' of her autistic son, is discreet. As a reader you are not force-fed anything and you come away with an insight into motherhood. Her fluent style and Juscelia's down-to-earth interpretation guide you into her world as she understands autism and how best to provide best for her beautiful son..."
