I must admit that I did not read through each and every page of the voluminous tome that this is. It is a stack of case studies full of details of the many ways in which our children actually do fall far from the tree, i.e., they are not like us in so many ways.
And yet, there is a common thread that binds all these myriad stories together: the enduring love of a parent that is able to accept, cope and even thrive amidst the most heart-breaking of circumstances surrounding one’s child.
The book contains fascinating accounts on Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, disability, prodigies, transgender identity, and children who are conceived during a rape and those who become criminals. Also, it contains an equally fascinating account of Solomon’s own personal journey of self-identity.
