Full Description
Remember that teacher who made you see something in yourself?
When Kristine Gasbarre met Mrs. Korthaus, this high school English teacher was already influential among students. For Kristine and other young girls, she was one of the few woman they'd encountered who led with conviction in both the classroom and community in their male-dominated small town. Mrs. Korthaus had been out in the world, had participated in a few of the most historical moments of the twentieth century, and had spent twenty years in corporate life before 'accidentally' becoming a teacher.
Surrounded by students, she found herself at home and dedicated her life to teaching students not what to think, but how to think. Guided by her passion and encouragement, many struggling students felt confident enough to peel themselves away from the familiarity of their hometown to chase after their dreams-after she helped many of them realize they had dreams.
In Show, Don't Tell, Kristine Gasbarre shares the wisdom she gleaned from the teacher who shaped her own life so significantly-from her career to her relationships to her faith. It highlights the unique power of sharing our lives and our stories as it moves readers with tragedy, awe, and the heartwarming relationship forged over three decades between two women from different generations.
Mrs. Korthaus's wisdom about a woman's sense of self, feminine strength, leadership, and the self-sufficiency that creates the luxury of options in life have inspired Kristine and will remind readers to pause and celebrate the teachers in our lives-the humans behind the lessons.
