"The life of an neurosurgeon isn't an easy one, and Ben has been required to go above and beyond the decision of responsibility almost constantly. The life span of an neurosurgeon's wife isn't much easier. But it's all been worthwhile. Together, we have been through poverty, tragedy, prosperity, and happiness, and we've possessed each other's backs. I really like that person!" (Candy Carson) Like most Americans, it might seem of Ben Carson as a trailblazing brain doctor and, in the last couple of years, as an outspoken commentator on national issues. But his wife of more than 40 years recognizes him as so much more: a adoring husband, a committed dad, a devout Christian, a committed philanthropist, and a brutal patriot. Now Candy Carson presents us to the private area of an extremely public physique as she shares the inspiring tale of their marriage and their family. Like her hubby, Candy grew up in Detroit, one of five children of an instructor and a manufacturer employee. Also like Ben, she overcame her humble qualifications through determination, effort, and perseverance, gaining a scholarship to attend Yale University. In that strange new world, she centered on her studies, her music, and her deepening spiritual life. She went to chapel with a good looking older college student who liked to tease her but never assumed he'd be anything more than a friend to her. But Ben and Candy quickly became inseparable, plus they married soon after she graduated, with Ben still in medical college, preparing for his career as a soon-to-be world-famous pediatric neurosurgeon. In A Doctor in the House, Candy reveals many experiences which may have never been told before, despite the media spotlight on Dr. Carson in recent years. She shows us what it was like when they moved to Baltimore to become listed on the community focused around Johns Hopkins Medical center. She details how their family improved with the births of these three sons and the tragic miscarriage of these twins.
