Loverboy (2006)

Brilliant, beautiful and financially secure, Emily Stoll never wanted a husband--nor a house with a white picket¹ 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 anonymous² 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 iconoclastic³, Emily has no interest in polite social interaction. Her single overriding⁴ passion is to help her precocious⁵ child, her "Loverboy," reach his fullest potential and to protect him from what she sees as the stifling⁶ conformity⁷ purveyed⁸ by mediocre⁹ 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.
