Description

A raw and powerful memoir of motherhood, autism, and filmmaking by Australian director, Jocelyn Moorhouse.

Jocelyn Moorhouse has a successful career as a gifted scriptwriter and film director, as well as maintaining a marriage and a family of four children. How did she do it? Her memoir is a moving story of growing up with adoring parents and siblings. She knew early on that she wanted to be a filmmaker, and her dreams were encouraged by her family and by her teachers.

Meeting P.J. Hogan, becoming parents and filmmakers together, was a turning point. But when they discovered that two of their children were autistic, Jocelyn's life turned upside down.

In Unconditional Love, she talks from the heart, with humour and intelligence, about her fears for her children, the highs and lows in her international career, about Hollywood and home, and about her love for what she does best—filmmaking and motherhood.
