Drawing the ire of the Anti-Defamation League and grammar snobs alike, Jimmy Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid became a bestseller despite (or maybe because of) the controversy it caused. Now the man from Plains takes on a significantly less polarizing topic: his mom. A Remarkable Mother paints an inspiring portrait of Lillian Carter. From her nursing work during the great depression to volunteering for the Peace Corps at the age of 68, she personified the famous Carter spirit of humanitarianism. Any ticket-line hassle tonight should prove worth it, come Mother's Day — you could do a lot worse than an autographed copy of Carter's love letter to mom.
