一个才貌兼俱、经济宽裕、视宝贝儿子为情人的单身妈妈，一个对儿子保护欲过度的单身母亲，一个时刻担心儿子被平庸的老师耽误的神叨叨的老妈……

Loverboy (2006)

Brilliant, beautiful and financially secure, Emily Stoll never wanted a husband--nor a house with a white picket fence. She knew she needed just one thing to make her truly happy: a child with whom she could share life's wonders.

When an anonymous sexual encounter results in the birth of her son, Paul, she is astonished to find that he is even more precious to her than she had imagined. Creative and iconoclastic, Emily has no interest in polite social interaction. Her single overriding passion is to help her precocious child, her "Loverboy," reach his fullest potential and to protect him from what she sees as the stifling conformity purveyed by mediocre teachers and ordinary playmates.

But, when Paul reaches school age and his natural curiosity begins to draw him to the outside world, Emily knows she has to act quickly to hold on to the love of her life.
