First Lady From Plains
by Rosalynn Carter, 1984

I am grateful to many people for their contributions to this book. It was not easy for me to write about my life. But I began by interviewing old friends and relatives and by reading my personal diary, in which I had recorded so many experiences. This brought back a rush of memories, some that were painful and some that made me laugh aloud. My long conversations with Jimmy and our children, my White House staff, and our special friends added a sense of balance – and humor.
