On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Sarah Lutterodt’s memoir, Worlds Apart, chronicles her extraordinary journey across cultures, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the challenges of bridging cultural divides.

Worlds Apart

Sarah Lutterodt’s extraordinary life, spanning Black/White, American/British, Western/African, and academic/business cultures, offers a unique perspective on the deeply ingrained assumptions and attitudes that often divide people.

Worlds Apart invites readers to accompany Lutterodt on her captivating journey, beginning with a sheltered post-war childhood on an English farm and culminating in her retirement straddling two worlds: Ghana and America.

From her life-changing years teaching university in Ghana to her challenging immersion in the American business world, Lutterodt navigates the complexities of identity and belonging as a biracial woman in a society not always welcoming to her family.

Inspired by the teachings of the Franciscan friar Richard Rohr, Lutterodt’s memoir explores the joys and challenges of living at the intersection of cultures. She invites readers to recognize boundaries while seeking to build bridges of understanding.

I am grateful to have experienced moments when a boundary that separates my life from others has become porous, illuminated by the bonds of our common humanity.

No one has the capacity to live in an unboundaried world. The scale is too vast, our need for security too great. But we can live with more awareness of our blinders and with compassion for those in other worlds.

-Sarah Lutterodt
