Susan Perkins, Kansas State Organization Webmaster and Editor and Past
Kansas State Organization President wrote this about Unveiled Truth, "Gail
Goolsby has written a book that tells the story of her time as the leader of
the International School of Kabul and the challenges she faced as an educator
and woman living in Afghanistan. Her
accounts of the experience allow us to view a different culture and how
challenges like this make us a better person…”
The committee selected the book for its readability and shared
topics with the other books reviewed and
recommended by the committee this
year. Included in those topics were
women’s issue of equality, inequities in educational opportunities based on
financial status, engaging the reader in using the Socratic Method of inquiry,
and a story of inspiration of growth through both failure and success.
The
Educators Book Award Committee encourages members to read this book and
highlight it in newsletters, websites and at chapter meetings. Using it in a book discussion would introduce
members to the Afghan culture and people.
Gail’s questions at the end of each chapter would also encourage members
to think creatively about their own lives.
