A Remarkable Mother Audiobook

" I learned that every time I read something by JCarter, I hear his voice narrating it. He has lots of interesting stories to tell. "

" My mom made me read this book, but it was basically inoffensive and didn't depress me AT ALL. She is a pretty saucy lady, and reading this book was marginally more interesting than staring at people on the subway. "

" This was a wonderfully warm book. "

" My husband and I listened to this on a road-trip and found her to be an incredible woman. Loved that she joined the Peace Corps in her retirement. "

" The writing is not inspiring, but the story is. Lillian Carter is a fascinating woman. I am curious to read the collection of letters she wrote to her family while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in India. A quick and easy read. "

" This is a lovely portrait of a mother by a very remarkable man. She certainly accomplished a great deal for a woman of her time, or any time and it's clear that her very progressive approach to life had a profound impact on her son. I enjoyed. "

" I enjoyed this book, mostly about Miss Lillian's years when she was young (through her 70s!). Jimmy Carter obviously idolizes her, but it was quite obvious that when he was president everybody spent some time crossing their fingers and hoping she wouldn't do or say something that would cause a big problem. She was quite a spunky person (understatement!!) "

" Interesting stories from President Carter. Not totally focussed on his mother, thought. A bit rambling. Listened to it as an audiobook. Don't think I would've continued if it were print. "

" What an amazing woman! Not all that well written, however... "

" What a delightful little read-it-in-a-lazy-afternoon book! I've long admired Lillian Carter and this book written by son Jimmy is chock-full of anecdotes. She was an exceptional woman with a sharp tongue, loving heart and razor wit. "

" I've always admired Miss Lillian. Interesting and a fast read, but I didn't really feel I knew her any better after reading the book. A very "surface" treatment of her life, I felt. "

" Quick read. Endearing look at a fascinating life. I learned a lot about what you can do with great spirit. "

" Excellent book, wish I had known her. "

" I really loved this book. Lillian Carter was a remarkable and very feisty woman. "

" He's honest and doesn't make a saint out of her. But she was truly extraordinary--joined the Peace Corps at 70 and went to India for two years, among many other adventures. "

" Jimmy Carter's tribute to his mother Lillian. Among the more interesting tidbits: she served in the Peace Corps in India when she was in her 70s. "

" The wisdom her son learned from Miss Lillian. "

" One of my all time favorite books. A must read.Jimmy's mother was simply amazing. Very simple and uncomplex. "

" All I can say is I love Miss Lillian! Doesn't matter if you are Republican or Democrat, she was a truly amazing woman and humanitarian. It is now easy to see where Jimmy gets it from. "

" A simple biography of a simple but interesting woman. No major surprises, but then Lillian Carter was always very forthright. "

" My Mother-in-law gave me this book to read! Excellent! Lillian Carter was indeed a remarkable mother and woman. Miss Lillian ignored prejudices, loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, was a favored guest on talk shows. She was generous to a fault and committed to great causes. Defintley a good, fast read. "

" Just looking for an example to follow ... "

" Jimmy Carter has written a very revealing and heartfelt book about his amazing mother. She was a woman ahead of her time. "

" Every mother would relish a son who felt this way about her. What a remarkable writer and storyteller Jimmy Carter is! "

" loved this book --what an amazing woman! "

" I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I liked the familiar mixed with things I did not know about. Fun to listen to this famous voice! "

" This is a very sweet - son who obviously loves and adores his mother - book. "

" Some mother! A charming little book with some interesting political tidbits and a very easy read. "

" that she was, another of my Heros "
