Synopsis "Moon at Nine "

Based on interviews with a young woman forced to flee Iran because of her sexual orientation, Moon at Nine is a tense and riveting novel that shines a light on an issue of social injustice that continues to this day.Fifteen-year-old Farrin has grown up with secrets: ten years after the overthrow of the Shah, her aristocratic mother is still working against Iran's conservative revolutionary government. But when Farrin befriends Sadira, the intriguing and outgoing new student at her school for gifted girls, her own new secret is even more dangerous. Because the girls discover their relationship is more than just a friendship--and in Iran, being gay is punishable by death.

Born in Cochrane, Ontario, she had to move several times during her childhood due to her parents' jobs. Ellis decided to start writing when she was between 11 and 12 years old. As she grew up, her work and writing were mainly done through traveling and speaking to others who have problems and documenting the main things. She began writing her first book, The Bread of War, some time later.
