Sylvia's Experiment: The Story Of An Unrelated Family is a novel written by Margaret Rebecca Piper and published in 1914. The book tells the story of Sylvia, a young woman who decides to take in a group of unrelated individuals to form a family. Sylvia is a progressive and independent woman who wants to challenge the traditional notion of a family. She believes that a family can be made up of individuals who are not related by blood, but who share a common bond and a desire to support and care for each other. The book follows the lives of the various members of Sylvia's family, including a young girl named Alice, an elderly woman named Mrs. Wetherell, and a young man named Jack. Each member has their own struggles and challenges, but they all come together to form a unique and loving family. Throughout the book, Sylvia faces opposition from those who do not understand her unconventional approach to family life. However, she remains steadfast in her beliefs and ultimately proves that a family can be created through love and mutual support, regardless of blood relation.
