- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I remember when the Judds first appeared on the country music scene. I owned their albums. Albums, not CDs, not mp3 files but vinyl albums! I enjoyed their music and there was a certain mystique to the Judd mythology: single mom overcomes all and becomes a mega star.
Of course, nothing is as it appears to be and every family has its secrets and struggles. Wynonna's book is fairly straight-forward and her writing style is very conversational. She's open about the conflicts with her mother, her struggles with food addictions and her insecurities. I think some parts of her life were glossed over, but it's her right to decide what to share.
Wynonna speaks a great deal about the importance of counseling and therapy, both of which have helped her (and continue to help her) come to terms with many of her childhood issues. There is a lot of self-help talk and 12-step jargon.
I think we all have issues. Family conflicts aren't relegated to the rich and famous. There truly is no normal family or normal life and the consequences of single choices have far reaching effects.
This was a quick read and one that was interesting and enlightening. Fans of Wynonna and the Judds will enjoy it.1 person found this helpful
