Fifty-year-old Karen Anders, a high school English teacher and the adoptive mother of Tiffany, comes to terms with being a single-parent and a clumsy drunk in the multicultural melting pot of Houston, Texas, as she forges an unlikely friendship with Leona Supak, a WWII Hungarian refugee, who inspires Karen to change her views on motherhood, drinking, and men.Karen's teaching job provides an ongoing challenge with low scoring students and a lack of support from school administrators.Meanwhile, Tiffany moves to Austin to attend the University of Texas, but soon neglects her academic life when she meets a gamer boyfriend and begins a job at the Ink & Juice, a tattoo parlor-juicing bar.Tiffany hides the truth of her new life from Karen through a text-only relationship.Feeling rejected, Karen explores the paradox of romance for the middle-aged.Despite the challenges, a family unit comes together inspired by strangers and second chances in How We Came to Be.
