I ThinkI Could Love Her takes you back to the early 1980s when music was changing. Raised by a hypocritical preacher and an alcoholic and depressed mother, this story is about a young lady who was sheltered and taught that being gay is an abomination. Eileen is struggling with her sexuality and must discover whether or not her friends will accept her if they knew the truth.
