Carol was raised in a Christian home but walked away at a young age, which is when she met Barry while he was a successful musician touring across North America. As was common in the musician world, Barry was no stranger to partying, and Carol could party right along with him.

It was then that they discovered Barry struggled with addiction. “I realized I could quit drinking and he could not,” she says.
