Beschrijving

Using a journalist's eye, and introspect's heart, Jimmy Carter tells a warm and compelling tale of the times, places and people who shaped his life. 
Humbly examining the elements of his youth, Jimmy Carter recounts his earliest impressions of segregation, politics, and life and death. 
 
Jimmy Carters style is natural and compelling, and his honest appraisal of his families past is both frank and welcoming. 
 
Clearly a man of great humilty, Jimmy Carter appraises his actions in the face of racism, expressing both pride and regret, he never blames his failings on anyone, or anything, but his own lack of understanding. 
 
In the latter chapters of this book, Jimmy Carter closes in on his incompleted relationship with his stern but loyal father - a relationship that both shaped and confounded him.  
 
This book is a wonderfully paced read, with the selfeffacing warmth of a Jean Shepherd tale wrapped around the sepia toned history of one of America's greatest living leaders.
