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 [1] and two months later in the UK (under the title, Far from the Tree: A Dozen Kinds of Love), [2] 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, [3] MacDowell Colony, [4] Ucross Foundation, [5] and the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center; [6] at MacDowell, Solomon was the DeWitt Wallace/Reader’s Digest Fellow and later the Stanford Calderwood fellow. [7]
In 2017 it was adapted into a documentary of the same name, directed by Rachel Dretzin.
