| Summary | Jimmy Carter re-creates his boyhood on a Georgia farm. |
| Comments | <i>In An Hour Before Daylight,</i> Jimmy Carter, bestselling author of <i>Living Faith</i> and <i>Sources of Strength,</i> recreates his Depression-era boyhood on a Georgia farm before the civil rights movement forever changed it and the country.<br><br>Carter writes about the powerful rhythms of countryside and community in a sharecropping economy, offering an unforgettable portrait of his father, a brilliant farmer and a strict segregationist who treated black workers with respect and fairness; his strong-willed and well-read mother; and the five other people who shaped his early life, three of whom were black.<br> <br>Carter's clean and eloquent prose evokes a time when the cycles of life were predictable and simple and the rules were heartbreaking and complex. In his singular voice and with a novelist's gift for detail, Jimmy Carter creates a sensitive portrait of an era that shaped the nation and recounts a classic, American story of enduring importance. |
