Ashley Judd To Write Memoirs

Filed under: Publishing News

Actress Ashley Judd is writing her first autobiography – detailing her troubled childhood.

The star suffered depression as a youngster while her singer mother, Naomi, was away for long periods of time, touring the globe for her career.

Judd has spent her adult years concentrating on charity work, serving as a Global Ambassador for Population Services International’s Youth Aids program.

And now the star is putting pen to paper to explain how her early life inspired her to help abandoned children and women in poor countries.

She says,

“By sharing my own story along with those of the beautiful and resilient people I’ve met in the most desperate places, I want to show how the change we seek in the world must start within us.”
