I was completely fascinated with this "Fresh Air" interview with author Andrew Soloman, whose book, "Far From the Tree," explores the world of families with children who are profoundly different; children with physical or mental disabilities, children conceived in rape, and children who go on to commit serious crimes, to name a few.

"And then I thought people become attached to their children with whatever their flaws are. I'm attached to my children with whatever flaws they have and if some glorious angel broke through the living room ceiling and offered to exchange them for other better children, I'd cling to my kids and pray away this specter."
