Summary:

MOONTIME explores the practice of celebrating a girl's entrance into womanhood, a trend that has begun to take hold in the United States. Treating a taboo subject in an unconventional way (and building on the metaphor of blood explored in BLOODTIME, MOONTIME shifts the meaning of menarche and menses from a biological event that must be tolerated, to one that empowers women spiritually, reclaims the sacred essence of the female body, and provides opportunities for insight and wisdom. In this section of the trilogy, women, mothers, and fathers share their experiences using art and ritual to celebrate this important life passage. MOONTIME is the second part of the BLOODTIME, MOONTIME DREAMTIME trilogy
