G. Ofori Anor received a college education at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana and Long Island University in New York. He has spent much of his adult life studying and teaching African cultural traditions and history. As the Editor and Publisher of The Asenta News Magazine, he authored numerous editorials, essays and commentaries on matters of topical interests to Africans and is widely published in magazines, newspapers and the social media.
Having survived a massive heart attack that the overwhelming majority of victims never do, the author engages himself in a conversation on Why Me? It is a conversation that recalls with humor and candidness other episodes in his life that he escaped close shaves with death. It ends with an emphatic admission rooted in faith that a third factor - God, An Unseen Hand, An Ancestral Spirit, A Guardian Angel, etc - most certainly always intervened on his behalf and altered an otherwise fatal outcome. This is as much an essay on some aspects of ethnic Akan cultural practices as it is a commentary on the contemporary Ghanaian socio-political condition. commentary on Ghanaian socio-political history and condition.
It is the author's personal story of travails and trauma. A transformative awakening to health, faith and happiness. The book has made a space for itself on the shelf of African American literature
-Ernest Sandy Amoyaw, Library Administrator, Yonkers NY
