Written by Libby in 1988 and included on her new compilation CD "How Could Anyone" in 2005 (see below), as well as on her "If You See a Dream" recording in 1990, the song "How Could Anyone" has traveled around the globe, been translated into many different languages, reprinted in numerous books (including Hometown by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Kidder), sung at the U.N. Conference in Beijing by thousands of NGO representatives, and used in every conceivable format and venue, from videos, films, and slide shows to hospitals, prisons, kindergartens, marches, peace gatherings, weddings, funerals and shelters. Several years ago, Princess Diana was even spotted wearing a "How Could Anyone" tshirt to work out in the gym!
In fall 2005 , CNN's global news program Anderson Cooper 360 did a special segment on Libby and the worldwide healing impact of the song. Some of the nonprofits using Libby's song featured on the program include:

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.
