Rehabitation

By Paul Taylor

The story is told by a son who needs to write a screenplay for his father. A young man from an archetypal well-grounded Midwestern family wants to go to film school in Hollywood to become a screenwriter. A young woman, once a child star from an archetypal screwed-up show business family, is trapped in a pattern of self-destructive behavior. The inevitable drunk-driving accident, intersecting her life with his, should have landed her in jail, wrecking her career. She put his mother in a coma. His father is a prosecuting attorney. Instead, the prosecutor offers her a surprising lifeline'?provided she can live with the family, caring for the mother, anonymously, for one year. Two lives intersect: one must know love as a daughter before she can be a woman and actress; the other must lose his father's voice before he can find his own as a man and writer. He writes a short, sweet, sentimental story. Can he make it into successful film?
