Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story by Ben Carson (Paperback)

Gifted Hands is the autobiography of Dr. Ben Carson, who rose from an angry, struggling inner-city student to become director of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. Carson credits the persistence of his mother, a single parent working several jobs, for pushing him to succeed. Written with Cecil Murphey, it is an inspiring story of perseverance, faith and the power of education.
