Listen to "Jeanne Blasberg Releases The Nine" on Spreaker. Perfect for fans of The Dead Poets Society and The Circle, The Nine revolves around the relationship between well-meaning helicopter mom Hannah Webber and her son Sam as he enrolls in the boarding school of her dreams, Dunning Academy. While Hannah’s angst over the feelings of his departure, her feelings of imposter syndrome as a midwestern Jew on the WASPY east coast, and her exceedingly high expectations for Sam’s success builds a rift in her marriage, Sam becomes entangled in the on campus secret society, uncovering a decades-long scandal conducted by those in highest power on campus. A perfect back to school pick that paints a perfect portrait of the misalignment of ambitions between teens and their parents.
