Gifted Hands, by Ben Carson and Cecil Murphey was highly recommended to me by another teacher. I’m glad she told me about the book. It is a truly inspirational. Gifted Hands is the autobiography of a young Africa-American growing up in Detroit. Ben’s father left his mother when Ben was very young. His mother struggled to raise her two young boys in a very tough environment. Her strength, faith, and dedication made all the difference. Ben graduated as the top student in Detroit Public Schools and we nt on to become a neurosurgeon.
Gifted Hands tells the story of how he and his family overcame the hardships to become successful and happy. It is a story that both teachers and students will enjoy.
