In Solomon’s telling, these stories are everyone’s stories.Īll parenting turns on a crucial question: to what extent parents should accept their children for who they are, and to what extent they should help them become their best selves. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, multiple severe disabilities, with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. Solomon’s startling proposition is that diversity is what unites us all. Andrew Solomon tells the stories of parents who not only learn to deal with their exceptional children but also find profound meaning in doing so.
