Synopsis

While most people think of Dr. Carson as a trailblazing neurosurgeon and an outspoken conservative, Candy, his wife of 40 years, knows him as so much more: a loving husband, a devoted father, a devout Christian, and a patriot. With her new book, Candy Carson introduces America to a man equally remarkable in his private life as he is in public. Above all, she shows us Dr. Carson as a believer: in God, in family, and in America. He believes in the American dream not as an abstract idea but as a reality, with the story of his own life as the evidence and believes every American to be capable of achieving it.

In this intimate portrait, readers will learn how Ben Carson leads by example, whether as the lead surgeon in the operating room, as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, or as the founder of the Carson s Scholars Fund. No less worthy of admiration is his leadership of his own home and family through their personal struggles and triumphs.
