About Not That Sweet:

Is she crazy, or the family’s black sheep?

In Not That Sweet, Stephanie candidly shares her story of growing up in a chaotic home, shaped by a police sergeant father seeking to “fix” her defiance and anger at home by sending her away. As she navigates her unconventional childhood, readers are invited to explore a pressing question: Is she a ‘troubled teen,’ reacting to an unhealthy environment, or both?

Through the narrative, Stephanie examines the complexities of her family and social dynamics, including strained relationships with her parents and siblings, invisibility at school, the labels she’s been given and the places she’s been. Each chapter reflects on her journey of resilience and personal growth, providing readers with a thoughtful exploration of self-discovery and identity.

Not That Sweet chronicles Stephanie’s evolution from an uncertain childhood to an empowered adulthood, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and reclaiming one’s sense of self. Her story offers a relatable and encouraging perspective for anyone ready to take radical self responsibility and find one’s place in the world.
