review 1: After reading several of President Carter's books, I recognize a few of the stories mentioned between these pages, but he includes lots of 'new' stories as well. The devotion he had for his mother did not cloud his perspective and the author is honest while being discreet about some of the adventures of 'Miss Lillian.' I hope I am half the woman she was if I am fortunate enough to live a long life.
review 2: I throughly enjoyed reading this book about Mrs. Lillian. What a fascinating woman she was. It amazes me how much energy and spunk she had in her later years. There is one part of the book that I will share with you that I felt was very amusing:After Jimmy's inaugural speech,Press Secretary Jody Powell shouted, "Let's stay close together, and don't any of y... moreou talk to the press." Mama stopped and said, "Jody, you can go to hell. I'll talk to whom I please." she was immediately surrounded by television and radio microphones, and the first question was, "Miss Lillian, aren't you proud of your son?" I leaned forward to hear her answer: "Which one?"What a pistol Miss Lillian was back then. Great lady. Great book. Love every bit of it. less
