Home is Best – A Journey of Hope, Migration and Return

Home is Best is a powerful migration story following Njem, a resilient young man from Pinyin who, forced by poverty and lack of opportunity, drops out of school and begins a long journey in search of a better life.

From his village to Bamenda, then Yaoundé, and later Bangui and America, Njem faces hardships, encounters new cultures, and experiences both hope and disillusionment.

In America, the allure of freedom and opportunity is quickly overshadowed by stress, alienation, and a money-driven system. Together with his partner Vero Nkwain, he ultimately chooses to return to Cameroon, realizing that home is where true fulfillment resides.

This novel beautifully captures the emotional tension between migration dreams and cultural roots, making it a compelling read for anyone reflecting on identity, purpose, and the meaning of home.
