Book review: Ashley Judd offers peek into her life
http://www.tennessean.com/
Ashley Judd is braced for heavy loads. She totes an overflowing Birkin bag — filled with water, her ever-present iPhone and a bag of jewelry for a photo shoot.
And the actress turned activist tackles some heavy topics in her memoir, All That Is Bitter & Sweet, out today. Writing it was cathartic for Judd.
“My job was to stay continually willing and to remember that it’s none of my business how it turns out or what the outcome may be. I’m just asked to be in the moment and share my truth. When I stay in that space, things are generally pretty easy,” she says. “There’s a flow. I had trouble with the family narrative because I have so many memory blackouts. I had to learn to write ‘I don’t know.’ That was, without a doubt, the most frustrating part. But the diaries were there. I had so much material.”
