Recap

 
Ashley Judd is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress and humanitarian with over 20 film and Broadway credits. Currently, she makes her home outside of Nashville with her husband, Italian racecar driver Dario Franchitti. Her mother Naomi and sister Wynonna are the legendary country music duo The Judds, and Ashley is an eighth generation Kentuckian on her mother's side. She's steeped in lore regarding her mother's side of the family, so she's decided to explore her paternal heritage. As a child, Ashley spent summers with her grandparents, Mary Bernadine Dalton and Michael Ciminella, along with Mary's mother Effie Copley, whom Ashley called "Granny." She knows about the classic Sicilian immigration story of the Ciminella side, so she's curious to know how her grandmother's people got to Kentucky and what role faith, which is very important to her, played in their lives.
