Book Signing With Mark Parsons

Mark Parsons’ new YA novel, The 9:09 Project, explores the healing power of art, and putting your grief to work. This tender yet funny YA novel follows the healing journey of a young man who goes to the same street corner at 9:09 PM every evening to take a photograph to honor his mother because that’s the time she died and he’s worried—deeply worried—that he’s losing his connection to her. In a starred review, Kirkus describes it as “A brilliant literary portrait…wryly funny, extremely intelligent, and sweetly romantic.”
