"A personal, pleasant book, a treasure for president, oatchg for work to which they ful comeople themselves at any age." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution For Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, the transition from the White House to Plains, Georgia, was painful. Both bore the scars of the 1980 elections and, like many American couples, they faced the bewildering and frightening void of an uncertain future. EVERYTHING TO GAIN is their warm and unpretentious account of their successful adjustment to a new life. In their own words, the Carters honestly portray their changing relationship over the course of a long and eventful marriage. They examine America's urgent health issues and share their own personal rules for longevity. They describe the rugged labor and joyous satisfaction of their work for Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center of Emory University; Above all, the Carters offer encouraging and informative ways for any couple to renew their commitment to themselves and to life-and to make the most of the exciting years ahead.
