Rita’s Reviews > Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity > Status Update

Mindblowing in hard data and experiences. I have no children yet, nor have I close relations with any of the characteristics studied in the book. But people interested in identity and how it is formed and perceived will find this fascinating. It is lenghty but also a masterpiece because of that since the author presents so many testemonies. I'm reading about Down Syndrome now.

Though extensive in each subject (honourable work, just more difficult to read along), it has so many gripping accounts I've read the dwarfs chapter (they're giant), in one evening.
