What is Gifted Hands The Ben Carson Story about?
Ben Carson was once labelled the class dummy and struggled to believe in himself. With his mother's encouragement, he learned to work hard, control his temper and discover a love of learning. His determination carried him from a difficult childhood in Detroit to Yale University, medical school and a career as a pioneering paediatric neurosurgeon. This inspiring biography follows Ben's journey as he overcomes prejudice, self-doubt and daunting challenges to help children with serious medical conditions.
