This is Jimmy Carter's poignant memoir, where he recounts his formative years on the family Georgia rural property during the pre-Civil Rights era and the Great Depression. Carter's motivation for penning the book was deeply personal: he wanted to create a lasting record for his grandchildren. The title pays homage to a cherished figure in young Carter's life. Jack Clark, entrusted with running the barn, would ring a bell an hour before dawn, heralding the start of a new day.
