Description: First Lady to Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn Carter. Signed and inscribed by author on the first in-page. This is a story of a small town girl from Georgia who inspired the nation with her independence and commanded the world's attention when she traveled the globe as a special presidential envoy. And it is the story of a love affair that carried two childhood sweethearts through years of hard work, family campaigning, and ambitious preparation, into the White House. Rosalynn Carter's memoir is a quintessential American story of a determined woman whose childhood dreams were fulfilled in ways she could never have imagined. In this delightfully candid account , she tells of her youth spent in the rural South: the courageous strength that he father demanded of her: the handsome man , Jimmy Carter, whose picture she fell in love with months before they actually met; the challenges of being a Navy wife and young, mother to three small boys; and her position as a partner in the family peanut business. She comments on the political and social turbulence in the South during the earliest years of her political efforts , the exhausting congressional and gubernatorial campaigns that she helped run, and her personal trials as a shy housewife thrust into the spotlight as a public figure in the Georgia governor's mansion. Throughout, Rosalynn Carter reveals the spirit and commitment that later marked her achievements as First Lady of the United States.
