“Bridging the Gap: Between Culture and Religion” by Alex Dougbowea Tarlue

It goes without saying that culture and religion can greatly influence people’s decisions. These two things have brought much unity among people. But at the same time, it has also caused great division among men. Alex Dougowea Tarlue aims to bring both together in “Bridging the Gap: Between Culture and Religion.”

The novel follows young Kpadehee’s journey from Liberia to the United States in pursuit of a better future away from the war-torn nation. His story isn’t a simple one as he tries to adjust to a new life away from home. The Muslim Kpadehee encounters and falls in love with a Christian woman. While their relationship blossoms, challenges come to them in the form of cultural and religious differences. Will Kpadehee figure everything out?

Kpadehee’s journey is a familiar story for anyone in search of a better life away from their motherlands. Tarlue made sure to show cultures and religion can drive unfortunately common wedges between people. His wish is for people to be more aware about their differences and band together despite these differences to bring about peace to the world.

“Bridging the Gap” calls for empathy, understanding, and unity. Copies are sold in selected online bookstores.
