Show, Don't Tell

“Uplifting and thought-provoking.”–Katie Couric’s Wake-Up Call

“As society moves toward a more automated world, where everything traces back to analytics or algorithms, Kristine Gasbarre masterfully reminds us of the value in the age-old art of ‘caring enough.’ Through the story of the indomitable Mrs. Korthaus, we learn how one individual’s persistence in pushing her students to be the best version of themselves made a community, and, frankly, a nation, all the richer.

Gasbarre’s book will inspire those who seek a life beyond screens, who want to engage and learn real-world lessons from a teacher who exemplifies the best of human connection.”
