Hannah Webber fears she will never be a mother, but her prayers are
finally answered when she gives birth to a son. In an era of
high-stakes parenting, nurturing Sam's intellect becomes Hannah's
life purpose. She invests body and soul into his development, much
to the detriment of her marriage. She convinces herself, however,
that Sam's acceptance at age fourteen to the most prestigious of
New England boarding schools overseen by an illustrious headmaster,
justifies her choices. When he arrives at Dunning, Sam is glad to
be out from under his mother's close watch. And he enjoys his
newfound freedom-until, late one night, he stumbles upon evidence
of sexual misconduct at the school and is unable to shake the
discovery. Both a coming-of-age novel and a portrait of an evolving
mother-son relationship, The Nine is the story of a young man who
chooses to expose a corrupt world operating under its own set of
rules-even if it means jeopardizing his mother's hopes and dreams.
