“She left with the intent to never engage with Kofi again. She had her plans and her life to live and was not interested in marriage…especially not to a stranger like Kofi!”
-- KOFI & AKOS
ABOUT THE BOOK
More than a story… A journey.
Kofi and Akos are two people shaped by the same soil, drawn together by circumstance, and tested by a world that does not always understand where they come from. As they navigate the demands of a new country, they discover that the hardest journey is made to mold and shape you according to the purpose God has for your life.
This is a story about what it costs to leave, what it costs to stay, and what endures through both. It is about the culture you carry, the burdens you must bear and ultimately the triumphs you will experience. It is also a celebration of friends that become family and help shoulder the weight of the call.
Kofi and Akos is more than a memoir; it is a testament to hope, belief, and the transformative power of love and faith.

Book Reviews
Kofi and Akos has been such a fulfilling and refreshing read. What I’ve loved most is how vividly the story is written. I can easily visualize the scenes and almost feel like I’m a part of the journey.
— Nowela Muller
Such a compelling novel! From the very first chapter, I was completely drawn in and couldn’t put it down. Definitely one of those books that stays on your mind even after you finish it.
— Jasmine Nuako
Esther Ansah, has penned a beautiful book about her parents' journey from Ghana, West Africa to the USA. This book reminded me of the Biblical heroes such as Abraham, Sarah, Ruth and even Daniel. As God spoke to Kofi & Akos, He ultimately showed HIMSELF: powerful and mighty.
