The Yellow House, by Sarah M. Broom

Less than ten miles from the vibrant French Quarter, the struggling New Orleans East neighborhood doesn’t appear on tourist maps. And the shotgun house where Sarah M. Broom’s mother raised twelve children doesn’t exist there anymore since the city deemed it a danger and demolished it after “the Water”—Hurricane Katrina. Inspired by a favorite James Baldwin line, “I decided to return here because I was afraid to,” Broom’s first book mines her family’s relationship to New Orleans, and the house—a place her body can never revisit but where her mind wanders still.
