The Sweet Experiment

The Sweet Experiment embarks on a transformative journey through life's harshest trials to its most profound truths.

Payton McCrory is just your average junior at a Southern California college who happens to be secretly in love with her best guy friend . . . until she overhears her crush telling someone that she is "not his type" because he likes "sweet" girls. This incident spurs Payton onto an exploration of what it means to be sweet, with the help of her boy-crazy best friend and some unexpected influences along the way.

During Payton's journey, she is confronted with the realities of betrayal, substance abuse, chronic illness, and sexual trauma-each of these elements that lead to her encounter with a surprisingly personal Divine Presence.

This is not your everyday cheesy faith-based romance story. The plot twists of this tale mirror the uncertainties of real life, and readers will identify with Payton's questions: Is there a God? Why do terrible things happen? Am I loved?

While readers may not be given answers as to the fate of each character, they will be given hope, along with the all-important and life-changing answers to these difficult questions.
