Worlds Apart
A Memoir of Uncertain Belongings
By: Sarah A Letterodt
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE IT
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.
I could not put this book down and have passed it on to my college daughter. It is a fascinating book based on a strong woman that pushed through hard times. She’s a great role model.

Your Roots Cast a Shadow
By: Caroline Topperman
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE IT
The thrill of a new place fades quickly for Caroline Topperman when she moves from Vancouver to Poland in 2013. As she delves into her family’s history, tracing their migration through pre-WWII Poland, Afghanistan, Soviet Russia and beyond, she discovers the layers of their complex experiences mirror some of what she felt as she adapted to life in a new country. How does one balance honoring both one’s origins and new surroundings?
Your Roots Cast a Shadow explores where personal history intersects with global events to shape a family’s identity. From the bustling markets of Baghdad to the quiet streets of Stockholm, Topperman navigates the murky waters of history as she toggles between present and past, investigating the relationship between migration, politics, identity, and home. Her family stories bring history into the present as her paternal grandmother becomes the first woman allowed to buy groceries at her local Afghan market while her husband is tasked with building the road from Kabul to Jalalabad. Topperman’s Jewish grandfather, a rising star in the Communist Party, flees Poland at the start of WWII one step ahead of the Nazis, returning later only to be rejected by the Party for his Jewish faith. Topperman herself struggles with new cultural expectations and reconciling with estranged relatives.
A study in social acceptance, Topperman contends with what one can learn about an adopted culture while trying to retain the familiar, the challenges of learning new languages and traditions even as she examines the responsibilities of migrants to their new culture, as well as that society’s responsibility to them.
This book will make you want to delve into your own family’s history. We often focus on our own lives but don’t realize that our family’s past has shaped us to be the person we are today.
