Abstract
Another Kind of Love is a novel that tells of loss, love and fate as seen through the
lives of Ray and Cheyenne—whose love for each other takes them both by surprise.
Cheyenne begins her story engaged to Jedidiah, a loving, wealthy and caring man. Ray,
the foreman of a construction company, meets Cheyenne, who is distressed by the
growing illness of her nursing home-bound mother. Their initial meeting sparks the
inevitable course of their relationship.
Beyond love, Ray struggles with questioning her faith and her role in Santeria,
the ancient earth religion practiced by many in the Puerto Rican community, including
Ray’s mother, whose ultimate goal is passing down the ways of Santeria to her daughter.
Through interactions with friends, family, and the heart, Ray and Cheyenne face
different life choices that force them to ask the question: How do you answer love?
