Ducks on the Moon is a remarkably candid, humorous, and raw journey through Burke's early years as a parent of a child with atypical autism. Burke takes people inside the discovery that the kid who looks like a perfect, standard issue healthy child, the child she was expecting – is in fact a piñata full of the unexpected – a Chinese puzzle to be unlocked, a daily challenge to every parental resource, yet a fully complex human being who just happens to think, communicate, and sense a little differently that the rest of the tribe.

Her plays have been produced and published in Canada, and around the world, including her stage plays, “Special”, “The Selkie Wife”, “Jane’s Thumb”, and “Charming and Rose: True Love” and her most recent radio play “Big Ocean”, which was heard in 7 countries in 2000.
