Far From the Tree
Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity is a non-fiction book by Andrew Solomon published in November 2012 in the United States and two months later in the UK (under the title, Far from the Tree: A Dozen Kinds of Love), about how families accommodate children with physical, mental and social disabilities and differences.
The writing of the book was supported by art colony residencies at Yaddo, MacDowell Colony, Ucross Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center; at MacDowell, Solomon was the DeWitt Wallace/Reader’s Digest Fellow and later the Stanford Calderwood fellow.
In 2017 it was adapted into a documentary of the same name, directed by Rachel Dretzin.
