Whispers from Yesteryears

Egoyibo and Odili Okolie’s daughter has run away from home. Suspicion that she may be a casualty in a fatal vehicle accident is confirmed when her body is located, identified and buried. The tragedy of the painful loss continues to trouble a mother’s heart. 

Eleven years later, the family receives an email from a stranger who claims to have been in recent contact with the deceased girl. Family secrets begin to surface and bitter accusations start to swirl, ultimately leading to the disintegration of the Okolie family. 


Chuma Zeluwa thinks the singer at the conference looks familiar. She looks remarkably like his high school friend whose death was widely reported and whose grave he had visited many years ago. What Chuma discovers when he confronts the stranger leads him on a journey back in time – to his part in a decade-long tragedy and to a God who forgives, restores, and who gives second chances. 


Against all odds, a young girl’s fears unwittingly result in a lesson in courage, grace and truth.
