Good story!
As an English-speaker who's done his share of French-speaking, I'd be happy to help if you need. My French is a bit rusty and could use a workout.
One difference that I noticed wasn't always consistent: En français, les adjectifs possessifs ont le genre de ce qui est possédé; en anglais, ils ont le genre de celui qui possède. C'est-à-dire, "Lois et son fils," mais "Lois and her son."
Bonne début!
