STONE IN A MARKET PLACE (en Inglés) - Tammy H. Allaboh

In a marketplace crowded with tradition, pride, and unspoken grudges, one careless stone can destroy an entire lineage.

When Chukwudi, a celebrated young wrestler, accidentally kills his rival in a public contest, his village chooses punishment over mercy. Branded a curse upon the land, he is banished into the forest, stripped of home, love, and identity. His father, Papa Paul, once a fearsome warrior and now a man of faith, refuses to appease the gods through rituals he no longer believes in. For his defiance, he and his family are cast into silence, isolation, and eventual ruin.

As love defies exile, a forbidden pregnancy ignites panic at the palace, and political vengeance disguises itself as divine will. Loyalties fracture. Friends betray. Power reveals its ugliest face. And a village convinced it is cleansing itself may, in truth, be condemning its own soul.

Do Not Throw Stones in a Marketplace; It Might Hit Your Relations is a haunting, emotionally charged novel about unintended consequences, generational pain, and the dangerous ease with which societies justify cruelty. Blending cultural realism with profound moral insight, it is a story of love under siege, faith under fire, and the quiet truth that no act of violence ever lands where we intend it to.

Some stones, once thrown, can never be taken back.
