Claire is a 37-year old divorced mother from Nebraska who has moved to Canada for a university teaching position. Her son, David, soon joins her, and as she discovers a new life as a single mom, lesbian, and Jewish woman, David’s journey takes him through his teen years into adulthood. This true story embraces the realities of today’s world, and takes a timely look at equality, same sex marriage, and the changing American family.
