She was an abandoned baby found in a cardboard box when she was one week old. Her birth mother never came back to claim her. Barb says, “it doesn’t matter how we start out in life. What matters is what we do with it.” Her life has transcended from a CARDBOARD BOX to the BOX OFFICE. Forever grateful she “pays it forward” through her music and her shows.
