Captivating, contemporary thriller somewhat reminiscent of "The Da Vinci Code" in its implications.

Being a fan of The Judds, I saw this mini-series back in the '90s when it first aired on ABC, and I fell in love even more.
The trials that Diane/Naomi Judd endured in order to keep herself and her children alive while, simultaneously, attempting to live a dream are simply... Amazing. And then to end up, later in life, beating the life-threatening disease which forced her to retire from her dream... I cannot put into words how much I admire this woman.
I taped the series on VHS, and viewed it so often I wore it out, so I am thrilled to see that it is finally available on DVD (although, I will miss the segues leading into and out of the commercial-breaks, if they aren't included on the DVD version -- I'm waiting for it to become available again as it is currently on back-order).
And the autobiography it is based upon, bearing the same title, is even more emotionally-effectual (as the books usually are).
I would urge anyone to pick up both the book and DVD for a truly spirit-lifting experience!
