National Book Award-winner Andrew Solomon's Far From The Tree--an Amazon Best Book of the Month (December) and Best Book of the Year--is a fascinating, groundbreaking look at exceptional families and their acceptance of children with severe disabilities or lifestyle differences.
Over the course of ten years, Solomon interviewed hundreds of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges, a few of whom are featured in this heartbreaking, heartwarming video. Says one parent, whose daughter was born with Down Syndrome: "You sort of get what you get, and you go from there."
