Living in the Nine
About
Living at the Nine
Three men. Two continents. One new beginning… on the ninth floor.
On the ninth floor of a YMCA in New York City, three men arrive with different kinds of baggage: losses, secrets, hopes barely held together. What unites them is not the past, but the possibility of a new beginning—to build something they never thought they could have: a home.
Through chance encounters, unexpected confidences, and the quiet strength of the everyday, they begin to form a bond that transcends their differences. In a space defined by impermanence, they find something lasting: connection, support, and a friendship that allows them to heal and dream again.
Living at the Nine is an intimate and luminous novel about the power of belonging, the resilience of the human spirit, and the beauty of creating family where there was once only solitude. A story about finding home—not in a place, but in the people who walk beside you when you choose to live again.
