Sweetest Gift by Stephanie Perry Moore
Payton Skky Series, Book 4

Payton is now in college. As her first semester started at University of Georgia, she is very nervous and lonely even though her two ex-boyfriends Dakari Graham and Tad Taylor go to the same school. University of Georgia (UGA) has always been a predominant white school. Payton was black. So she feels different and thinks she doesn't fit in. She thinks that she will not be able to make new friends and she also thinks all this 'going away to college' was stupid. She desperately wanted to go home. She misses her parents, her girlfriends Lynzi, Diamond, Rain and also her wonderful brother Perry. Payton has always wanted to live her own life, but when that day finally arrives, she finds out it is not easy at all.

Payton is struggling with boy's issues. She seems to like both Dakari and Tad. Whenever she saw them connecting with another girl, Payton gets jealous even though they're not together. She knows every time she feels this way, it was wrong, and also it is against God's Will. Peyton and her roommate Laurel Shadrach seem to have a good relationship and they're both Christians.

Payton wanted to go to an historical black college just like her friends Diamond and Rain. She feels like God had let her down whenever she saw Dakari flirting or having a good time with another girl. Can Payton find peace and focus in her life? What does she learn at the end of the day? Should she try to find happiness in a guy of turn to Christ? Find out what really matters to Payton in this sweet story about a girl's insecurities and the obstacles she faces when away to college, far from family and friends.
