Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity is a non-fiction book by Andrew Solomon published in November 2012 in the United States[1] and two months later in the UK (under the title, Far from the Tree: A Dozen Kinds of Love),[2] about how families accommodate children with physical, mental and social disabilities and differences.

The writing of the book was supported by art colony residencies at Yaddo,[3] MacDowell Colony,[4] Ucross Foundation,[5] and the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center;[6] at MacDowell, Solomon was the DeWitt Wallace/Reader’s Digest Fellow and later the Stanford Calderwood fellow.[7]

In 2017 it was adapted into a documentary of the same name, directed by Rachel Dretzin.
