Born in Chicago in 1945 into a close-knit Jewish family, Judi Goldman has spent her life doing what she loves most: showing up for the people around her. In Judi, she traces the roots of her warmth and values — a gregarious father, a devoted mother, a faith community that shaped her sense of belonging — and follows the thread through decades of marriage to Jeff, motherhood to Joe and Josh, and the particular joy of becoming a grandmother to five grandchildren. With chapters dedicated to her dearest friendships and to the caregiving she offered her mother and mother-in-law, Judi paints a portrait of a woman whose love has always extended further than her own front door. For nearly thirty years, her work with Project Linus — donating handmade blankets to children in need — has stood alongside family as one of her greatest sources of purpose. Honest about life's challenges and deeply grateful for its gifts, Judi is a memoir that reminds us how much a life lived in service to others truly counts.
