This was a delightful book. I grew up reading the Little House on the Prairie books, and this is an adult version of southern farm life in the 20th century. I found myself looking for clues as to how a President is shaped from childhood---what training and which values shaped his life. The book is beautiful and entertaining with a strong emphasis on cultural diversity and values. I recommend it highly.
