* Selected as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century by
The New York Times *
* WINNER of the National Book Critics Circle Award * Books for a Better Life Award *
The New York Times Book Review
’s 10 Best Books of the Year *
This masterpiece by the National Book Award–winning author of
The Noonday Demon
features stories of parents who not only learn to deal with their exceptional children, but also find profound meaning in doing so—“a brave, beautiful book that will expand your humanity” (
People
).
Solomon’s startling proposition in
Far from the Tree
is that being exceptional is at the core of the human condition—that difference is what unites us. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, or multiple severe disabilities; with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, and Solomon documents triumphs of love over prejudice in every chapter.
All parenting turns on a crucial question: to what extent should parents accept their children for who they are, and to what extent they should help them become their best selves. Drawing on ten years of research and interviews with more than three hundred families, Solomon mines the eloquence of ordinary people facing extreme challenges.
Elegantly reported by a spectacularly original and compassionate thinker,
explores how people who love each other must struggle to accept each other—a theme in every family’s life.
