Industry Reviews
"What most surprises, and delights, is that this audio unwinds like a novel. Carter has a great gift for language, and this remembrance is sensitive, descriptive, and surprisingly earthy. He brings to life a world in which community was paramount and the countryside provided entertainment, relaxation, and livelihood. Though this is abridged, the trims were done carefully. Carter reads with vibrancy. He has an interesting voice and a distinctive delivery. That familiar slow drawl may not have the clearest enunciation, but the former president easily draws us into a life difficult to imagine."
Boston Globe - Rochelle O'Gorman (03/11/2001)

"The surprise of Jimmy Carter's new memoir, AN HOUR BEFORE DAYLIGHT, is not that he knows so much about farming, but that his description of it is so engaging. In simple, precise language, Carter describes the many chores of daily farm existence, such as cotton mopping, a procedure to protect cotton from boll weevils and worms....[A] thoughtful, intelligent and eloquent book."
Book - James A. Schiff
