Julie's Journey
What’s a Mom to Do?
Before you can fight effectively for someone else, you need to be able to stand up for yourself. In Julie’s Journey, we meet a mother who has done just that.
Even though moms may seem superhuman, they’re not! Julie’s Journey relates the problems faced by a mother who must fight for the rights of her 10-year-old son, Ben, whose challenging behaviour is eventually diagnosed as autism.
Julie’s Journey was written to let parents know that they’re not alone when they fight to support a child with a disability.
Julie is a single mom who has just lost her beloved father, and has a strained relationship with her mother. Feeling alone and grief stricken, Julie also faces problems on her farm, due to a long drought.
When Julie’s son is expelled from school, she must stand up to the system and find the strength to defend Ben’s rights for an education. She is also fighting for a bigger right: to uphold one’s dignity in the face of opposition. You will stand up and cheer for Julie’s Journey!

It's very exciting to have a book published so close to home.
I have just stumbled accross this site for the first time & am so pleased to read about local news (I no longer live local) allthough a bit supprised at how tragic some articles are.
Keep up the good work.
