About this title

Synopsis:

Full Life

Review:

“A warm and detailed memoir of his youth followed by a clear-eyed assessment of the issues he tackled as president and afterward . . . a sweeping overview of a broad range of issues and frequent credit to his wife Rosalynn . . . Carter puts the long arc of his story together the way he sees it. The book includes his accomplishments as a negotiator and peacemaker in the humblest way — as a man who was at work on a larger project, something he continues to be. A primer for the generations who don't know his work and a personal retelling for those who do, A Full Life may herald the reappraisal he deserves.” (Los Angeles Times)

“Carter reveals private thoughts and recollections over a fascinating career as businessman, politician, evangelist,and humanitarian.” (Booklist)

“A Full Life is understated like the man, always warm and human, and in a few instances, even inspirational.” (Buffalo News)

“The former president is yet a force to be reckoned with. . . . The author takes the reader on an engaging personal journey through the later half of the 20th century, as he saw it.” (Christian Science Monitor)

“The drawings and poems by the author add even more of a personal touch, though crises in his marriage and his ‘estrangement’ from the Obama presidency offer the most noteworthy revelations. A memoir that reads like an epilogue to a life of accomplishment.” (Kirkus Reviews)
