Rosalynn: Friend And First Lady

Description for ROSALYNN: FRIEND AND FIRST LADY by Edna Langford and Linda Maddox with a foreword by Rosalynn Carter:

Who is Rosalynn Carter? How is she able to cope with world crises, handle the pressure of constant public attention, earn the respect of an entire nationa, and enjoy the loving support of the President? Only the lady Rosalynn calls her closes friend---Edna Lnagford--can answer these questions.

Drawing upon years of shared experiences---of campaigning, traveling, laughing, crying, hoping, and wondering together, Mrs. Langford reveals a side of Rosalynn never before captured by the media.

With Linda Maddox, she tells of miles of small-town campaigning, struggling to introduce a little-known candidate named Jimmy Carter; of the merging of family and friendship when Jack Carter married Judy Langford; and of how, as her husband gained votes and public recognition, Roslynn captured the hearts of the American people.

There are behind-the-scenes looks at Rosalynn in a multitude of roles: as mother and grandmother; as diplomat on travels to Thailand and South America; as a humanitarian channeling her deepest concerns into practical solutions; as wife, confidante, and complement to the President; and as a woman always acting upon the courage of her convictions.

ROSALYNN provides an anatomy of the Carter mystique---the inner drive, fierce family loyalty, and deeply rooted faith that have carried Rosalynn and Jimmy from the obscurity of rural Georgia to the focal point of national and world affairs.

More importantly, here is an intimate glimpse, as only a best freind can provide, of the special person who can be called both FRIEND AND FIRST LADY.
