A Remarkable Mother

by Jimmy Carter

Synopsis of A Remarkable Mother

A Remarkable Mother is President Carter’s loving, admiring, wry homage to Miss Lillian Carter.

The Washington Post - Carolyn See

…although this little book may have been timed for Mother's Day, it's far from the sentimental tribute one might expect…In her personal journey from farm wife to public figure, Lillian Carter (who died in 1983) was part of a larger sea change in American life: from a mostly rural society to an expansive, prosperous, confident player on the world stage. This is an unexpectedly engrossing family chronicle.
