Book excerpt: 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. McGill has a background in developmental psychology and uses this to great effect; the theory sections of MTBTM are relevant, researched, and related to real-life examples from McGill's own experience with her adopted son. 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 from McGill's own blog, giving the reader a unique and personal insight in to the day to day struggles of her family.
