A Peculiar Kind Of Love is a coming-of-age inspirational life story revolving around a lively and witty young lady named Drewlynn L. McCain (Drew for short).
Drew has always had an interesting life; just at the age of four, Drew's mother, Joy Rivers, abandoned her at a pier in Texas, only to be found by some locals, then shipped off to live with Curtis and Shelia Jones, her foster parents. These two humans were almost as bad as Drew's absent parents; not only did they mock her for being abandoned, but they also blamed her for everything wrong in their lives.
This heartfelt story takes place with a 22-year-old Drew, just graduating college with a bachelor's degree in marketing/advertising, alongside her Atlanta best friend Shantel Reid, who she'd met the first day of orientation four years earlier when starting school in Atlanta.
Life started to wake up for Drew after graduating, or maybe it was after Drew's Texas best friend Jenius Tate, also known as Jay, traveled to Atlanta to celebrate her graduation, accompanied by a surprise guest, Marcus Tidwell. Either way, just when Drew thought life should be coming together for her, it was falling apart.
Drew was about to face obstacles that challenged her trust in Yah, (God) family, and friendships. You'll not only see Drew face these obstacles, but you'll also witness the unique way Yah guides her to overcome them and be the victor in every situation.
On Drew's journey, you'll also come to know those that Yah put in play to help her along the way. Wait! What did you think Yah would let her face these things alone? Of course, not; he put people in Drew's life who would encourage, comfort, protect, and give her a swift kick in the butt when needed. People like Sue Cummings, Joe & Brenda Tate, Rainn Jacobs, Dina Cole, Mrs. Evens, and many more.
Drew was loved and adored by many, but the love she longed for was that of her parents. Drew could remember the nights she'd pray for hours asking Yah to let them take her away from the hell she endured, but they never showed. After years of praying, Drew gave up and focused her thoughts on not becoming bitter about life but to live in the moments and enjoy them.
Unfortunately, Drew finds herself in and out of love, heartbroken, confused, and traumatized, all within a year. Drew became so low she wanted to give up on life, and if it hadn't been for the Peculiar Kind of Love, she and Yah shared, Drew would've folded. But instead, she stood firm with her Chin up and Chest out, fighting and praying for love, happiness, peace, strength, and her heart's desires.
