Summary:
"Young Ben Carson didn't have much of a chance. Growing up in a broken home amongst poverty and prejudice, his grades suffered and his temper flared. And yet, his mother never lost her faith in him. Insisting he follow the opportunities she never had, she helped to grow his imagination, intelligence and, most importantly, his belief in himself. That faith would be his gift - the thing that would drive him to follow his dream of becoming one of the world's leading neurosurgeons. Pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson tells the story of his childhood in inner city Detroit, his rise through the military officer training program, ROTC, medical school, his appointment at Johns Hopkins at the age of thirty-three, and the life-saving breakthrough neurogsurgeries he has performed"--Provided by publisher.
