Synopsis
The Nobel Prize-winner, and former President, Jimmy Carter writes fondly of his mother Lillian, whose public achievements include working as a Peace Corps volunteer and appearing frequently as a celebrity on television talk shows during her son's single term in office. Carter remembers her as well as a person of exceptional values that she expressed through her actions--for example, her refusal to go along with segregationist behavior during the Great Depression. Fans of Carter's previous bestselling memoirs, especially AN HOUR BEFORE DAYLIGHT (which included much about his parents), will again appreciate the way he evokes another time and place long gone. And his fascinating recall of his mother's words and voice makes this memoir stand out.
