Ben Carson grew up in inner-city Detroit in poverty, with a struggling single mother and grades near the bottom of his class. Through faith, fierce determination, and his mother’s insistence that he read — and his refusal to accept the story others told about him — he became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital by age 33 and pioneered surgery so difficult other doctors called it impossible. A true American story of transformation.
