Not a great piece of writing, but the strength and independence of Jimmy Carter's mother rivals any woman I've ever read about. She did some amazing things long before her son's name was even heard of and she continued to live her live uncompromisingly even after her actions became highly scrutinized and might affect her son's presidency and legacy. She was, indeed, remarkable.

I enjoyed this book, mostly about Miss Lillian's years when she was young (through her 70s!). Jimmy Carter obviously idolizes her, but it was quite obvious that when he was president everybody spent some time crossing their fingers and hoping she wouldn't do or say something that would cause a big problem. She was quite a spunky person (understatement!!)

Jimmy Carter is one of the most amazing people currently alive. He has built a remarkable legacy, more so as an ex-president than as a president.

I learned that every time I read something by JCarter, I hear his voice narrating it. He has lots of interesting stories to tell.

A simple biography of a simple but interesting woman. No major surprises, but then Lillian Carter was always very forthright.

Just watched Mr. Carter on the PBS Tavis Smiley program and decided to reserve it at my local library.
