Ashley Judd to publish memoir in 2011

Ballantine Books will publish a memoir by actress and activist Ashley Judd in the spring of 2011, the publisher announced in a statement. The book, Judd’s first, will draw from journal entries about her own painful childhood and her work as global ambassador for international public health non-profit PSI/Youth AIDS. “I hope that this book will be a call to action as well as a memoir,” Judd said.
