Amy Lynn Carter Wentzel (born October 19 , 1967 ) is the only daughter and youngest child of U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn . Amy was born and raised, until her father's presidency, in Plains, Georgia , with her father serving as governor of the state for much of the period. She has three brothers who are roughly 15 to 20 years older than she is. She aged from 9 years to 13 while living at the White House , and was the subject of much media attention, given that young children had not lived in the White House since the presidency of John F. Kennedy . While in the White House, she had a Siamese Cat named "Misty Malarky Ying Yang". Once when asked whether she had any message for the children of America, she replied simply "No." Carter later became known for her political activism, participating in a number of Sit-in s and protests during the 1980s and early 1990s , aimed at changing U.S. Foreign Policy towards South Africa and Central America . Along with activist Abbie Hoffman and thirteen others, she was arrested during a 1987 demonstration at University Of Massachusetts , for protesting CIA recruitment at that institution. The charges were later dropped. This occurred during her first year at Brown University , which she later left due to unrelated issues. She earned her Bachelor Of Fine Arts degree (BFA) from the Memphis College Of Art and a Master's Degree from Tulane University . Carter collaborated with her father on the 1995 children's book '' The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer ''; he wrote the story and she illustrated it. During the 1990's Carter became Engaged to be married twice, subsequently canceling both engagements. Finally, in September 1996 , she married computer consultant James Gregory Wentzel, whom she had met while attending Tulane. Ms. Carter chose not to be Given Away , stating that she "belonged to no one." The couple moved to the Atlanta area, where they focused on raising their son Hugo James Wentzel (born July 29 , 1999 ). Since the late 1990s , Carter has maintained a relatively low profile lifestyle, not granting interviews.
