River of Time by Naomi Judd & Marcia Wilkie Book Summary
Naomi Judd's life as a country music superstar has been nonstop success. But offstage, she has battled incredible adversity. Struggling through a childhood of harsh family secrets, the death of a young sibling, and absent emotional support, Naomi found herself reluctantly married and an expectant mother at age seventeen. Four years later, she was a single mom of two, who survived being beaten and raped, and was abandoned without any financial support and nowhere to turn in Hollywood, CA.
Naomi has always been a survivor: She put herself through nursing school to support her young daughters, then took a courageous chance by moving to Nashville to pursue their fantastic dream of careers in country music. Her leap of faith paid off, and Naomi and her daughter Wynonna became The Judds, soon ranking with country music's biggest stars, selling more than 20 million records and winning six Grammys.
At the height of the singing duo's popularity, Naomi was given three years to live after being diagnosed with the previously incurable Hepatitis C. Miraculously, she overcame that too and was pronounced completely cured five years later.
But Naomi was still to face her most desperate fight yet. After finishing a tour with Wynonna in 2011, she began a three-year battle with Severe Treatment Resistant Depression and anxiety. She suffered through frustrating and dangerous roller-coaster effects with antidepressants and other drugs, often terrifying therapies and, at her absolute lowest points, thoughts of suicide. But Naomi persevered once again. RIVER OF TIME is her poignant message of hope to anyone whose life has been scarred by trauma.

So Uplifting!. this book brought more tears than laughter to me! it was so powerful and so moving! it’s the most wonderful book that i have ever read. Naomi is now resting peace in the presence and in the arms of her Heavenly Father and isn’t suffering anymore with what she’s went through in all these long years. We her Fans will forever miss her but we will not forever forget her. Because Naomi (or Mama Judd) lives on forever in our hearts and our souls! We love you Mama! And we will ALWAYS remember you! As of this Review that I’m writing you have been gone form your 2 beautiful daughters Wynonna and Wynonna’s husband Cactus and Wy’s 2 children Elijah and his wife Haley and Grace and Grace’s beautiful daughter Kaliyah (who is now a 1 year old as of my Review) and Ashley and your beloved husband Larry (Strickland) ( or as he is so well know as Pop by both Wynonna and Ashley) and I know that they are all missing you. And I know as your beautiful great-granddaughter will be hearing a lot of beautiful stories about you from both her Nonnie as she calls herself to Kaliyah) and of course from Grace and her Aunt Ashley her Uncle Elijah and Aunt Haley and Grandpa Larry.
Incredible book.. Naomi Judd was truly a brilliant woman who walked a sad path of mental illness. As a fellow RN, and someone who has experienced depression and anxiety, I could appreciate her story even more. I’m just sorry I didn’t read it sooner. Rest now my friend, in Gods arms. Run toward your peace. 🌹
PTSD?. It's difficult for me to understand how Naomi Judd can justify lack of parental affection and praise, receiving a used bike for Christmas, having her room redecorated in brown, being a divorced single mother, working her way through nursing school, etc., as PTSD. I can understand being almost molested by her uncle, and raped by her boyfriend as being traumatic experiences, but I guess I see things through a different prism; having polio and being paralyzed at age 4 and being isolated from my parents for months, being truly molested by a stranger at age 5, and as Naomi, no parental affection. Moving to six different states, and being the new student 9 times in 9 years, and as an adult, watching my son die. Also, working as an RN for 40 years, as opposed to Naomi's 5, and caring for people who suffered tremendous trauma and suffering. I can truly categorize that as causing PTSD. Losing her career, attention, and being on stage and in the spotlight would be stress inducing, and a cause for depression. I can understand that. I feel great empathy for anyone experiencing depression. But PTSD? Soldiers in wars, accident or trauma victims, the death of a child, families of murder victims, People in Aleppo, earthquake, hurricane, tornado victims, etc. YES! Definitely PTSD! But, in my opinion, not lack of parental affection. I'm glad Naomi found her way out of depression, and I've enjoyed her music, but I found it difficult to enjoy this book.
River of time. Everyone should read this book. 5 stars
Thank you. I read this in a day! Thank you for your candid account of this illness that so many suffer from. You have given me hope that there is a way out of the self despair in my own life.May God bless you and keep you safe xoxo
Knitnanny. You are a judgmental person who has lost her empathy towards others. I’m glad you were never MY nurse. I was dx with PTSD after some terrible trauma that pushed me to I try and take my life. At first, I thought my diagnosis was only for war veterans, persons suffering from rape or horrible child abuse and things along those lines. Thankfully, my therapist carefully explained that PTSD can be caused by many different traumatic events and then I didn’t have to suffer from war or rape or any other horrible thing you can think up in order to receive this diagnosis and need treatment for it. Reading your terrible review of a woman’s book who is trying to reach out to other people and criticizing her for not being sick enough to have a diagnosis of something like PTSD is just cruel. Hopefully you are at the stage in your career as a nurse that you’re dealing with paperwork and not patients. This book is an incredibly brave account of one women’s fight with mental illness. You are a perfect example of comparing one’s pain over another. Ridiculous and unnecessarily mean!
