Publisher's Synopsis
"Growing up in the inner cities of Boston and Detroit. Deserted by his father. Living in crippling poverty with his mother and brother. How did this once violent-tempered youth who had a brush with attempted murder become a world-renowned physician and national spokesman? My Life is the story of a man who could have remained trapped in poverty and anger and the lure of the streets were not for his mother's tough and sacrificial love, his own perseverance, and his deep faith that called him to do great and courageous things. Containing new and candid philosophies from Dr. Ben Carson, read how this pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon overcame tremendous obstacles in My Life, and let it enrich your life."--Page [4] cover.
