About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. Written with the cooperation of President Jimmy Carter and his family, this books provides an intimate glimpse inside the life of the woman who - as nurse, mother and social justice activist in segregated southwest Georgia - made a lifelong habit of breaking the rules defining a woman's place in and out of the home and the status of blacks in society. As the only white nurse in her rural community who cared for black families, as a 68-year old Peace Corps Volunteer in India, as a fearless supporter of civil rights and as a First Mother unlike any other, Lillian Carter showed how individual courage, conviction and compassion can make a difference.<br /><br />Drawing on interviews with friends and colleagues, members of the Plains, Georgia, black community, Peace Corps Volunteers who trained with her, White House insiders and key players in the civil rights movement, as well as letters, documents and photographs never before made public, this book captures the essence of the woman the press dubbed âRose Kennedy without the hair dyeâ and âFirst Mother of the worldâ.
