Sharing My Thoughts

Memoir, Essays and Poetry: A Lifetime of Recollections

Primary Lessons: A Memoir

The Works of an Inspirational Writer 

My name is Sarah Bracey White, and I've been a writer since I was 12 years old. Join me on a journey through my world. In these pages, you'll learn about my life as a poor little Colored girl who grew up in the Jim Crow community of Sumter, SC, in the 1960s who has since made a home — and a respected name for herself — in Westchester County, NY.
My journey has been an excursion through high mountains and low valleys. Education, life experience, and friendship have sustained me. Now, I turn to look back in search of the meaning of all that has happened. For my full resume, click here:

My Pride and Joy

The publication of Primary Lessons: A Memoir by CavanKerry Press, Ltd. in 2013 was a watershed moment for me. I'm very proud of this book, and I'd like to share it with you. If you would like me to speak at an event or your book club, or you'd like a signed copy of my memoir, please contact me by phone or email. Primary Lessons was recently staged as "Transcendence," a dramatic musical, featuring me in the starring role!
