But that was no fluke. From indie dramas to Netflix hits, Barbaro has built a career with range, brains, and backbone.

This book pulls back the curtain on the grit behind the glamour, revealing how a classically trained artist became one of Hollywood's rising powerhouses. Steel, Grace, and Spotlight is Monica Barbaro's story poised, driven, and ready for takeoff.
