Far from the Tree (PRC edition). Translated by Jane Xie Niu. Changsha: Hunan Science and Technology Press, June 2018.
当我们总是习惯性地展望幸福的家庭，总是倾向于认为生孩子是一种“生命的延续”，这些家庭的故事展现的却完全是世界的另一面。当孩子的健康状况、性格才能或人生选择与父母迥异，父母们往往措手不及，他们面临一些艰难的选择：是接纳，还是不惜代价去改变？是躲开痛苦，还是艰辛地去爱？安德鲁·所罗门用细腻的文字记录下。
When we habitually look forward to a happy family, we always tend to think that having children is a “continuation of life”, and the stories of these families are completely on the other side of the world. When a child’s health, personality or life choices are different from their parents, parents are often caught off guard. They face some difficult choices: whether to accept, or to change at any cost? Is it to avoid suffering, or to love hard? Andrew Solomon records families’ true stories with delicate words.
