This recording is amazing, powerful, healing, restorative, beautiful, loving, diverse, uplifting, inspiring, intelligent, compassionate, delightful. It's 10 songs -- including her world famous anthem "How Could Anyone" (How could anyone ever tell you, you were anything less than beautiful?...)-- are drawn from her four other gorgeous folk recordings. As a songwriter, Libby is funny, warm, and wise all at once, and her voice speaks right to the human heart. CNN, Readers Digest, and the Associated Press have all done stories on the incredible impact of her songs around the world. This recording shows you why that has happened. This is an album I have given to all my friends and relatives and every one of them has enjoyed it deeply, including children and the very old. Can't go wrong here.

When I first heard this song it was at a seminar for Head Start programs in Maine. The speaker had us close our eyes and just listen to Libby's "How Could Anyone". As a survivor of sexual, physical and psychological abuse as a child, this song hit me hard.This was the first part in my healing. I realized no one had the right to make me feel bad about myself. This is a song for ALL to listen to. BTW, at that seminar, there wasn't a dry eye in the room after this song was played.How Could Anyone

HOW COULD ANYONE
How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less than beautiful?
How could anyone ever tell you
You were less than whole?
How could anyone fail to notice
That your loving is a miracle?
How deeply you're connected to my soul.

Words and music by Libby Roderick c 1988

This song by Libby Roderick is incredibly simple but awesome and powerful.

What a glorious expression of humanity. I own this CD and purchased 2 more copies for my sisters' birthdays.

I bought this CD after hearing one of the songs at a funciton that I attended and was really moved by the song. However, after recieving the CD, it was a different version than the original one I heard. That was very disappointing to me. The CD overall is only OK-I would not have purchased it if I had heard it prior to my purchase.
