Andrew Solomon recently became a father. It was the biggest step thus far in a journey of parenthood that began more than ten years ago with the beginning of a writing project. That project, now a NYT bestseller called "Far from the Tree" looked at how parents and children grew together when the children were shaped by a number of human situations ranging from criminality to schizophrenia. Host Don Merrill talked with Andrew about the book, his family and his decade long journey of empathy and growth.
