Jimmy Carter
Carter describes the other people who shaped his early life (only two of whom were white), including the boyhood friends who could not attend the same school, and the eminent black bishop who refused to come to the back door but would stand in the front yard discussing crops and politics with Jimmy's father.
Carter evokes a time when the cycles of life were predictable and simple while the rules were heartbreaking and complex. An Hour Before Daylight is a sensitive portrait of an era that shaped the nation.

If you could sum up An Hour Before Daylight in three words, what would they be?
Beautiful, genuine, movingWhat does Jimmy Carter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
That voice! No one else could bring this story to life like the author.Any additional comments?
This is one of my all-time favorite Audible purchases. Throw all your political views aside: this is a beautiful historical portrait of a time, a place, and a childhood. Four stars only because for the life of me I can’t fathom why it’s abridged. Give us the unabridged version, please!Great story, incredible voice, why abridged?!
