Ashley Judd is best known as the acclaimed actress in films such

as De Lovely and Double Jeopardy, but these days she

is more likely to be found wading through an African refugee camp

or Asian brothel than on a film set. For most of the past decade

Judd has been visiting human rights hotspots around the world to

spread the word of hope, health, and gender equality on behalf of

one of the leading public health nonprofits, PSI/YouthAIDS. Her

work has put her in the company of Bono, Bill Clinton, and other

world leaders in the battle against disease and poverty and in

advocating grassroots programs to improve the lives of women and

children.

Memories of her own painful childhood inspired Judd to reach out to

those in desperate need, especially abused and abandoned girls. She

writes movingly of friends such as Kausar, an AIDS sufferer in the

slums of Mumbai who becomes an activist and peer-educator, and

heroes such as Dr. Rene, who lends his heart and soul to keep the

sex workers of Madagascar from contracting and spreading HIV.

Judd also describes her own personal spiritual journey of discovery

that takes place during the interludes between her trips overseas.

Through being of service to others, she unlocks the door to her own

unsettled past, including an abusive childhood, and later on, her

issues with co-dependency and depression. Through the act of

bearing witness to others, Judd finds her own path to

healing. Her recovery becomes integral to her ability to

continue her humanitarian work. It reaffirms what her faith teaches

her: “When I change myself I help change the whole world.”

Judd recorded her experiences both abroad and at home in more than

five hundred pages of journal entries, which she has woven into a

highly personal and powerful memoir about change, hope, and human

transformation.
