Title: A Doctor In The House
Topic: Book Review
Discussed by Candy Carson
with Special Guest
Candy Carson, wife of Dr. Ben Carson, has written a great new book, “A
Doctor in the House”. She is here today to discuss life with Dr.
Carson – the ups and downs and all that has happened in between. Candy and Ben
are a team. They have always worked very well together.
The Carson’s have three sons, three daughters-in-love, two granddaughters, and a
grandson on the way! She and her kids understood that his job as a neurosurgeon
was important; he was saving lives and they were – and still are – very proud of
him. They didn’t feel neglected because he wrote his family into his schedule.
He made his family a priority.
What would it be like to bring her grandkids to the White House? The Carson’s
have not been able to spend as much time with their grandchildren because
they’ve been on the road so much. Candy says she loves seeing people who bring
their kids to their events. It reminds her of the reason she and Ben are working
so hard to right what’s wrong for America: For future generations.
Many people do not know all that Candy has accomplished in her lifetime. Not
only has she raised three terrific sons, she has overcome great obstacles in her
life. Raised in Detroit with four siblings, she fought hard to earn a
scholarship to Yale, which ultimately led to a MBA from John Hopkins. She
believes that life is a journey. Every step leads to the next step. Her
experience at college and grad school really helped her while she was raising
her children.
