Overview
Remember that teacher who made you see something in yourself?
When Kristine Gasbarre met Mrs. Korthaus, her junior-high teacher was already a popular and influential teacher among students. For Kristine and other young girls, she was the only woman they knew who proudly embraced her independence in their male-dominated, small-town community. Mrs. Korthaus had been out in the world, had marched on Washington with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and supported herself financially by starting and running her own catering business before "accidentally" becoming a teacher.
Teaching suited the ninety-six-pound woman perfectly, and she dedicated 100 percent of the hours she wasn't sleeping to showing students how to learn and think for themselves. Under her guidance, many struggling students felt confident enough to peel themselves away from the familiarity of their hometown to realize and chase after their 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 thoughts on the meaning of life. It shines a spotlight on the power of sharing our lives and our stories with each other 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 female independence have inspired Kristine and will remind readers to pause and honor the teachers in our lives—the humans behind the lessons.
