Me, the Boy, and The Monster is a personal, thoughtful, and touching tribute to a family's journey through the world of adoption and trauma.

This book goes beyond the tired cliché of 'attachment' however, pulling together relevant strands of many different psychological theories and disciplines, all of which is juxtaposed against heart-wrenching and emotional accounts taken...

'This isn't just a book for people before they adopt; this is also a book for adopters. There were so many things you said that resonated so clearly with my experience. You articulate the concepts beautifully and the personal illustration from your life, so generously included, brings it to life and makes it real.'

'I LOVE IT! It's written in a really easy-to-understand way, without too much jargon, and the technical stuff is explained in a clear way.'

'Your description of The Monster is a real insight into trauma and its effects on the children. I really gained an understanding and even recognised some traits in our 17-month-old. I appreciate the honesty you have included with your examples - letting the reader know what works/doesn't work and that you have to change your approach as the child develops/heals.'
