An Hour Before Daylight : Memories of a Rural Boyhood

Former US President Jimmy Carter recreates his Depression-era boyhood on a Georgia farm, before the civil rights movement that changed it and the country. He writes about the powerful rhythms of countryside and community in a sharecropping economy, and offers an unique portrait of his father, a strict segregationist, and his strong-willed and well-read mother, a nurse who cared for anyone in need, regardless of their position in the community.

  • "Not since Abraham Lincoln have Americans become as familiar with another humble U.S. President raised in the heart of farm country as they are with Jimmy Carter. Carter revisits his Depression-era childhood growing up in Georgia before the Civil Rights Movement. Recounting treasured memories, Carter speaks candidly about black workers on the farm and the respect shown to them by his mother and father. In fact, some of Carter's fondest recollections surround his relationships with blacks and the marvelous lessons they unselfishly taught him about nature, farming, spirituality, and friendship. This is an inspirational story of a family pulling together during tough times while living with dignity and the resultant respect and goodness that propelled a young boy to become a kind and revered leader."@en
