Worlds Apart: A Memoir of Uncertain Belonging

"A compelling read." Frank Sasinowski, M.S., M.P.H., J.D., recipient of 2021 Pontifical Hero Award for Inspiration.

"Brilliant and insightful." Tom Eberle, Ph.D., former Director of the Living School, Center for Action and Contemplation.

Sarah Lutterodt's inspirational memoir, Worlds Apart, traces her life from a sheltered post-war childhood in southern England through transformative years teaching university in Ghana to the hustle and bustle of the American business world and her return to Ghana in retirement.

The memoir is a testament to the power of love and perseverance as, with her Ghanaian husband, Lutterodt raises a biracial family in racially traumatized America, while forging a career in a male-dominated industry. In telling her story, she delves deeply into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the quest for understanding across cultures and continents.

Proceeds from the sale of Worlds Apart will be used to benefit development projects at the Nii Sowa Din Memorial cluster of schools in Ashaley Botwe, Ghana.

"Worlds Apart, the story of a British woman who finds love in Ghana and goes on to create a successful business while raising a mixed-race family in America, is a compelling read. With moving insight, Lutterodt shares how boundaries can be broken, and life can be "win-win" both in the business world and in our human relationships."
