Her life as she knew it suddenly changed at the age of 20 when a near tragic car accident changed her life forever.

But once again the support of friends and family helped her navigate trying times. Through her whimsical stories of family life and heartbreaking years’ worth of medical challenges, Barb’s story educates and inspires others to better cope with the hand they’ve been dealt.
