Overview

Grief, you see, is a heavy thing. It is heavier than dragging a whale's body up onto the ice, heavier than enduring a winter that lingers past all hope, heavier even than feeling the sky itself pressing down, as if full of words you cannot speak. Most people know how to carry it. They strap it to their backs like a pack of furs. They walk, bent double, until the load lightens. They share the weight with their Neighbours. They cry. Then, eventually, they stand up straight again. They look at the sun. They say, Life is for the living. But Kissimi was not like most people. Kissimi's heart was not made of muscle and blood, but instead felt like fragile glass and empty echoes. For Selene, safety is a small, quiet place where the door is triple-locked, and the curtains are drawn. Reeling from a traumatic past, she lives in a carefully constructed sanctuary of silence. But the silence is broken each night by the muffled, terrifying arguments coming from the outside... To the Moon and Back is a heart-wrenching and hopeful story about bereavement, grief and finding your way back home.

Author Information

Katie-jo is a committed Christian who cares deeply about seeing the church reflect the welcome of Jesus. Autistic herself, she writes from the inside of neurodivergent experience, weaving together theology, story, and practical wisdom for communities that want to become more genuinely inclusive. With a background in teaching, she brings a clear, accessible style to complex ideas and a keen understanding of how different people learn, process, and participate. Her years in education and church life have shown her both the beauty and the harm that Christian communities can hold, and they fuel her desire to see congregations become places of safety and belonging. She is a disability advocate, working to challenge ableist assumptions and to create spaces where disabled and neurodivergent people are not merely accommodated but honoured as indispensable members of the body of Christ. She lives with her husband and their two children, who continue to teach her about patience, joy, and the everyday practice of grace.
