“A lifetime of struggle & achievement”
Catbird is a wonderfully intense and intimate portrait of a struggle to find oneself, her voice, and battle her demons. Barbi Prim bears witness to her overbearing father and ever-complacent loving mother to become the consummate professional [the first-ever female Cantor] and parent/wife. Her story is the search for understanding and the ultimate struggle for self-acceptance. This is an inspiring life told in warm, funny and challenging tales from adolescence to mature womanhood through the roads of family and professional lives that are oftentimes hard, but so sweet [like her singing], to travel. If honesty and struggle [with humor] is a virtue, then this book is a must read.
