On the occasion of Nahla Abu Hatab's promotion to Senior Lecturer.
Loeb's book is a collection of stories that speaks of our humanity and hope. It is an inspirational book that highlights the courage of ordinary people in the face of adversity. I love this book because it proves that no matter how destructive and abusive some people are, there will always be brave and kind human beings that will take action and bring about a positive change for themselves and others. This book made me think deeply about my responsibilities and how I could be a better servant for my students.

It is a wonderful pedagogical source for both teachers of both private voice and choral conductors.
