Nothing typical about this story of a rags-to-riches, Detroit inner-city boy raised by a single mom who worked 3-4 jobs just to keep the two boys and her family off government subsistence (except for food stamps).

Or how about the boy at 14 who goes to stab his friend in a fit of anger over the radio station being changed only to hit his friend's belt buckle instead of his stomach, drops the knife runs home and spends hours in the bathroom reading the Bible and pleading for God's forgiveness and to take his anger away from him, which God does. Just one of the many inspirational and miraculous stories that leads to the culmination of this gifted and hard-working neurosurgical doctor that separates Siamese twins joined at the base of the head.

A fine, and true inspiring story that's almost as much a page turner as any thriller I've turned the pages to.
