Together in time
£7.95
Published as part of the Our Story series, this is the story of Ruth and Ed Royce’s journey from childlessness to celebrating as a family. From a dual perspective, each with their own anxieties, expectations and vulnerabilities, they look back on their decision to adopt, to the fear that their family was falling apart, to their experience of music and art therapy, and then on to their decision to adopt a second time. Would they get to their sons’ deep-seated problems with drums and tambourines? They weren’t so sure…
In this inspiring account, the Royces record their feelings about the boys and each other, and show how therapy helped them come together as a family.
This book is for anyone who is interested in the adoption experience and how this can affect parents and children, and particularly in the effect of therapy for attachment disorders.

Reviews
As a parent of a 16-year-old adopted boy, I feel I have travelled a lot of Ruth and Ed’s journey. Our son has attachment difficulties and at times reading this book was like reading about my own son. Adoptive parents should read this book both pre- and post-adoption. I also feel that professionals working within this area would find the book very interesting. It’s a great book and a great story.
