What do you do when the truth costs you everything? When Chikara Okoroafor returns to his ancestral Nigerian village expecting reunion, he steps into a conflict already tearing the community apart. The elders, backed by a fiery pastor, have condemned the ancient ugba tree to destruction. To them, it is a relic of fear and superstition. To Chikara, it is the last living witness to his people's history-and a vital part of the natural world that sustains them. His refusal to stay silent fractures friendships, divides families, and casts him as an enemy of faith and progress. As tensions rise in the village square, Chikara must choose between yielding to the voices that raised him or standing alone to fight for a future no one else dares to imagine. Sparklings of Change is a searing tale of environmental justice, moral courage, and the burden of being the only voice left standing.
