My Mother's Future Husband
HD15-year-old aspiring singer/songwriter Headly Henderson and her widowed mother René Henderson, co-owner of René and Lou's Bistro, have been the focus of each other's lives since René's husband/Headly's father Michael Henderson died suddenly in a tragic accident five years ago. The two do everything together. But as Headly is getting to the age where she may want some "boy" time of her own, especially as Bodie Miller, a childhood friend, has just reentered her life and shows interest, Headly wants her mother to find some love of her own again, which René has resisted if only because Michael was the love of her life. Unable to get René signed up to a dating website without a valid credit card, Headly and her more technologically-adept friend Willis decide to create their own method of online dating with men of their choosing. After they come clean to the three men Headly approaches with the carrot of an "all about René" video, they tell them that they cannot tell René that it was them who set up the date, each date to evolve out of the men being regular customers at the Bistro. Of the three men, there is connection between René and only one of them: Andrew, a widowed single father. To get to a happy ending, René and Andrew both have many obstacles to overcome such as the memories of their respective first marriages, and what it means to be back in the dating pool after their relationship experiences, especially at their stage in life. Meanwhile, Headly herself may have a bumpy road to her first real romance, with she perhaps not being able to see past Bodie's good looks for the mismatch that they are, truly to see that her first real love may have been staring her in the face for years, if she can get over the geeky persona--including a bad haircut and unstylish eyeglasses--and friendship as the surface characteristics.

Mommy

That bread-winning ability is affected when she makes the decision to remove her only offspring, fifteen year old Steve Després, from her previously imposed institutionalization, one step below juvenile detention. She institutionalized him shortly following her husband's death due to Steve's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and his violent outbursts. He was just kicked out of the latest in a long line of facilities for setting fire to the cafeteria, in turn injuring another boy. She made this decision to deinstitutionalize him as she didn't like the alternative, sending him into more restrictive juvenile detention from which he would probably never be rehabilitated. However, with this deinstitutionalization, she has to take care of him which means only being able to do home based work. Despite they always yelling expletives at each other and Steve sometimes demonstrating those violent tendencies toward her, Die and Steve truly do love each other, his emotions which are sometimes manifested as an Oedipus complex especially as he seems to need her complete attention most specifically when it is being directed at possible male suitors. Their lives, both individually and as a family, are affected with the entrance of two of their neighbors. The first is Paul, a lawyer, who does have that sexual interest in Die as he tries to help Steve through his legal problems. The second and more important is Kyla, who lives across the street with her husband Patrick and their adolescent daughter, they who are in transit in their life to wherever Patrick's job will take them. Kyla is a high school teacher on sabbatical as she deals with her own emotional issues, which are manifested in stuttering whenever she feels incapable of dealing with her life. Kyla may find that she needs the Després as much as they need her.
