Call Me Jeanne: From Outhouse to the White House

A Journey of Family, Loss and the Power of Love

Born in the heart of the Great Depression, Jeanne Cahill's life began on a small South Georgia farm, where she learned resilience, hard work, and the deep value of family. But her journey didn't stop there. From humble beginnings with an outhouse in the backyard to standing in the White House as a trusted advocate, Jeanne's remarkable life story is one of perseverance, service, and the unbreakable bonds of love.

With a spirit that refused to be confined by convention, Jeanne broke barriers long before it was common to do so. She became a trailblazer-an entrepreneur, an activist, and a confidant of Jimmy Carter-whose voice helped shape conversations on women's rights and social justice. Through personal loss, reinvention, and an unwavering commitment to those she loved, Jeanne's story is a testament to the strength found in self-determination and the enduring power of human connection.

In Call Me Jeanne, readers are welcomed into the extraordinary life of a woman who has seen nearly a century of change-navigating the shifting landscapes of the South, the political sphere, and her own deeply personal triumphs and challenges. With warmth, honesty, and an eye for the details that bring history to life, Jeanne recounts a journey that is as inspiring as it is unforgettable.
