"Greener Pastures" synopsis: Roads can be rocky or paved….but don’t judge a path by its surface. For some roads lead to loneliness and others to "Greener Pastures." Tracy lives in what people call a mansion, but the cold marble symbolizes her life—frigid and lonely. Her husband is always away on business trips and ‘working late.’ She is left with her two girls—a preschooler and a teenager. On her daughter’s thirteenth birthday, they make plans to stay at the Lazy ‘R’ ranch. Riding horses and cooking campfire éclairs is on the menu. Her husband never shows up like he promised and this leaves her and her children in the care of a six-foot four rancher who has eyes the color of the clouds before a tornado. His calloused hard working hands are gentle and caring. His baggy overalls have charm. The old farm gravel road their black Mercedes turned down is symbolic of where her life begins to take her. The ups and downs are difficult, but if you ride them out---you might come out dirty but find the most beautiful place in the world. Tracy discovers that her husband isn’t always where he says he is and that love sometimes is found in Greener Pastures.

"Wishing" synopsis: Elizabeth lost her husband suddenly of a heart attack playing basketball. She was left pregnant and caring for her two little girls. Her life once filled with ‘table for four’ is now ‘table for three.’ Those words are difficult to swallow. Everywhere she looks she sees remnants of her old life—Tony’s dirty coffee cup on the counter, his briefcase still sitting in the doorway and his dirty laundry exactly where he left it before he died. Elizabeth can’t bring herself to let go of her husband. Her daughters on the other hand are yearning for a father figure.

One shiny penny tossed into a fountain wishing for a daddy sends the wheels of fate in motion. Destiny answers by having Dr. David Michael coming to the rescue as her Lamaze coach. A relationship starts to build. However, Elizabeth isn’t so sure she is ready to let go of the past and embrace her new future.
