Recommended by Honey for a Teen's Heart, this promises to be an excellent story.
Wonderful, wonderful! This book is all about education and the importance of it. But, instead of being preachy, it's a great story. Even my 7 (almost 8) year old doesn't want to miss a bit of it. Some of the things we have tried to teach our kids are reiterated in this book. Yippee! Also, there is the wonderful aspect of faith in God and miracles throughout the pages of this book.
Book on tape is read by the author!
2015 NOTE: If I could pull the threads of this book out of my kids' minds, I would do it. I'm sure there are some great moments in the book, but looking at who this man is and what he represents now, sickens me. There are certainly better role models out there.

I've heard short versions of his story (most recently in "This I Believe," so it would be great to get a hold of this.

Oh I immensely agree! I read bits of it to my 8 year old sister. She loves it
I felt the same way when I first thought about reading it. But there are things to be learned from everyone, even men like him!
We should all learn what Ben Carson did. Even with a crappy life there is someone who loves us. And I know it's super cliche but he'll help us through our problems. God will ALWAYS be there even if you don't believe or think so.
