Lee received a note from a girl a few hours before playing what she thought to be her final concert. The letter was about the Plumb song "Damaged" that Tiffany had written and recorded about a girl coping with being molested as a child. The note said "'Whatever you do, I just want you to never forget that you have changed someone's life." The note inspired Tiffany to remain in the music industry. She signed to [[Curb Records]] as a solo artist in 2003, releasing the album ''[[Beautiful Lumps of Coal]]''. In order to leave Essential Records, Plumb had to fullfill her contract obligations, and this led to ''[[The Best of Plumb]]'' record in 2000 despite the fact she had only released two albums previously.
