You can't hide forever when you're a pregnant teen or an abused wife. You can't hide when the world celebrates you as a musical sensation. And you can't hide when a deadly disease hits you. Your best choice in coping with all of these situations is to live honestly, openly-transparently.
Naomi Judd is a self-proclaimed expert at making mistakes, and she shares lessons she has learned from her own experiences-tragic, triumphant and transcendent-about living honestly and without pretending. Grounded in her profound appreciation of each person as a whole being, with emotions, lifestyles and spiritual needs, Naomi leads a voyage of self-discovery and self-revolution through 30 proven, practical ways to live more fully. Among other suggestions, "The Star Next Door" encourages readers to:
• Know How You Feel (practice emotion control)
• Begin Every Day with Solitude and Self-Assurance
• Resign as General Manager of the Universe
• Live in God's Presence and Walk Toward the Light

HERE AT LAST IS THE EXQUISITELY PERSONAL STORY OF A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WHO SANG LIKE ANGELS AN FOUGHT LIKE THE DEVIL-BUT LOVED EACH OTHER THROUGH STRUGGLE, TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY. THE JUDD'S WERE COUNTRY MUSIC'S MOST HONORED AND TOP-SELLING WOMEN. THEY WERE UNDEFEATED AS DUET OF THE YEAR FOR EIGHT YEARS, PICKED UP SIX GRAMMYS, AND WON A VAST ARRAY OF OTHER AWARDS. IN THE U.S. ALONE, THEY SOLD OVER FIFTEEN MILLION ALBUMS AND WERE THE NUMBER ONE TOURING ACT IN THEIR INDUSTRY FOR 1991. THEY WERE ON TOP OF THE WORLD WHEN NOAMI MADE THE SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT THAT SHE WAS BEING FORCED TO RETIRE BECAUSE OF A LIFE-THREATENING LIVER DISEASE. THEIR FAREWELL CONCERT, TELEVISED ON CABLE, WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL SHOW IN PAY-PER-VIEW HISTORY. THEIR LAST SONG TOGETHER BROKE AMERICA'S HEART AND ENDED ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED ACTS OF ALL TIME IN COUNTRY MUSIC. NAOMI SPENT THE NEXT TWO YEARS IN ISOLATION, RELIVING HER EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AND CAREER FOR THESE PAGES. LOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE IS WRITTEN WITH THE SAME RAW EMOTION AND CANDOR THAT MADE THE JUDDS SUCH ELECTRIFYING AND VULNERABLE THIS BEHIND-THE SCENES LOOKIN INTO THE JUDD'S PRIVATE LIVES SPARE NO ONE AND NOTHING./PACKED WITH PICTURES THROUGHOUT.

Career
As country music"s most famous mother–daughter team, scored twenty top-10 hits (including fifteen at number one) and went undefeated for eight consecutive years at all three major country music awards shows. In 1991, after selling more than 20 million albums and videos in seven years and at the pinnacle of their career, the Judds" reign came to an abrupt end when Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, a potentially fatal chronic liver disease that forced her into retirement. The band ended on a high note when their farewell tour was the top grossing act and their farewell concert was the most successful musical event in cable pay-per-view history.
In 1991, Naomi created the Naomi Judd Education and Research Fund to raise awareness of Hepatitis C, and uses the strength of her own experiences as spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation.

The duo was nominated as the Academy of Country Music"s top vocal duo of the year in 2001.
