Flame Tree Market by Farrell Patricia

The story follows a character named Amos Amoke, a barber, who arrives at his usual location one day only to find his shop has been destroyed to make way for a new building. Distraught about how he will provide for his family, Amos is at a loss.

Following wise advice from his wife, he finds a way to continue his livelihood. Using a tree stump for a chair, he sets up his barber practice under a vibrant flame tree. This small act of defiance and resilience quickly attracts customers and other vendors, leading to the creation of the Flame Tree Market.
