While she is not Amish, her heritage is heavily steeped in that tradition.After graduating as the valedictorian of her high school in 1994, she moved to Los Angeles and attended a writing program at the University of Southern California. After spending 10 years writing on the west coast, she grew weary of the “monster” known as Hollywood and decided to publish Blame it on Barbara. It was a difficult decision, but one which, thanks to the overwhelming success of the book, she has not had the opportunity to regret.When CB isn’t working, she enjoys watching baseball, cooking, learning, going to the movies, spending time with her friends and family, and failing miserably at crossword puzzles. She also exercises regularly, finding time whenever she can to jog, walk, bike or go for a swim in her pond.view less
