Naomi Judd's Story of Hardship, Family, and Her Country Music Career | From the NPT Archives

We remember Country music star Naomi Judd as she shares her story and book LOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE with John Seigenthaler. Filmed in 1994, this vintage episode of A WORD ON WORDS is from NPT's archives.

"Life really involves only about four basic plots, you know, birth and children and your job and death and stuff. So I have figured out that love has this transformational power. It absolutely does. Whether it's in trying to surmount hard empirical data tests and prognosis and medical results, whether you're trying to do a small piece of personal work or some impossible dream like trying to become a country music artist you know, in a one to one in a million shot love has this is no question about it. It is the greatest healer of all. It's greater than any wise books we can read or any erudite thing that we could possibly say." - Naomi Judd
