From the African oasis of Cameroon, to the hustle and bustle of the United States, Wet Braids is a realistic-fiction that details the trials and tribulations in finding one's way as an ambitious, dutiful, and committed woman risks it all for her true purpose. Following protagonist Ngang, who was born in Cameroon to a loving family with a desire to set out and bring honor to her country and community, the story begins as the ambitious African girl is granted the opportunity to come to America where she grows up in Virginia and completes a massive feat: graduating from law school. Always intent on making her family proud, Ngang finds herself sacrificing her own stability and happiness for the greater good, forgiving her boyfriend, Kevin, repeatedly for cheating on her. Coming into hardship when she learns about the death of her parents, as well as a lengthy illness that has fallen on Ngang's Aunty, the woman who brought her to America, Ngang has an important epiphany on what is really important in life. These hardships kickstart a new beginning for Ngang, one filled with emotional reflection as she learns about herself, her family values, community, and most importantly, her perspective on love. Learning that her experiences are commonly recognized, and oftentimes, purposely hidden by other immigrants who have struggled to find their purpose in a new land, Ngang takes it upon herself to be an example for so many feeling lost today.
