About this book

Sarah M. Broom’s “The Yellow House” is a poignant memoir published in 2019. It chronicles the century-long saga of Broom’s family, set against the backdrop of New Orleans East. The narrative commences in 1961 with Broom’s mother, Ivory Mae, purchasing a shotgun house in a neighborhood full of promise.

This house, later known as the Yellow House, becomes an integral part of their lives. The memoir paints a vivid picture of the family’s trials, the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, and Broom’s personal experiences within the city. The book was honored with the 2019 National Book Award for Nonfiction.
