A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTIONA brilliant, haunting and unforgettable memoir from a stunning new talent about the inexorable pull of home and family, set in a shotgun house in New Orleans East.In 1961, Sarah M. Broom's mother Ivory Mae bought a shotgun house in the then-promising neighborhood of New Orleans East and built her world inside of it. It was the height of the Space Race and the neighborhood was home to a major NASA plant—the postwar optimism seemed assured. Widowed, Ivory Mae remarried Sarah's father Simon Broom; their combined family would eventually number twelve children. But after Simon died, six months after Sarah's birth, the Yellow House would become Ivory Mae's thirteenth and most unruly child. A book of great ambition, Sarah M. Broom's The Yellow House tells a hundred years of her family and their relationship to home in a neglected area of one of America's most mythologized cities. This is the story of a mother's struggle against a house's entropy, and that of a prodigal daughter who left home only to reckon with the pull that home exerts, even after the Yellow House was wiped off the map after Hurricane Katrina. The Yellow House expands the map of New Orleans to include the stories of its lesser known natives, guided deftly by one of its native daughters, to demonstrate how enduring drives of clan, pride, and familial love resist and defy erasure. Located in the gap between the “Big Easy” of tourist guides and the New Orleans in which Broom was raised, The Yellow House is a brilliant memoir of place, class, race, the seeping rot of inequality, and the internalized shame that often follows. It is a transformative, deeply moving story from an unparalleled new voice of startling clarity, authority, and power.

Sarah M. Broom's National Book Award-winning debut The Yellow House is a stunning memoir about the inexorable pull of home and family, set in a neglected New Orleans neighborhood. In 1961, Sarah M. Broom's mother, Ivory Mae, a fiercely determined and recently widowed nineteen-year-old, invested her life savings in a shotgun house in then-promising neighborhood of New Orleans East. It was the height of the Space Race and the area was home to a major NASA plant. The optimism of postwar America seemed engless. In the Yellow House, Ivory Mae and her second husband, Simon Broom, who would be Sarah's father, bult domestic tranquility one wobbly renovation at a time, their dreams perpetually under construction. The family would eventually number twelve children. When Simon died, six months after Sarah's birth, the Yellow House became Ivory Mae's thirteenth and most unruly child. A brilliant interweaving of reporting, archival research, and gorgeously rendered family lore, The Yellow House tells the story of a mother's struggle against a house's entropy, and that of a daughter who left home only to be continually pulled back, even after the house was wiped off the map by Hurricane Katrina. Broom, a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant recipient whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, expertly transforms the Yellow House of Ivory Mae's creation into an emblem of civic apathy. She revises the map of New Orleans to include its lesser-known residents, a native daughter deftly demonstrating how the enduring drives of clan, pride, and familial love resist and defy erasure. Located in the gap between the "Big Easy" of tourist guides and the New Orleans in which Broom was raised, The Yellow House is an eye-opening memoir of place, identity, race, the insidious rot of inequality, and the internalized shame that often follows. A multi-generational story of home from a brave new voice of startling clarity and authority, Sarah M. Broom's The Yellow House is "a memory palace...a grand story of the fallacy behind the myth of New Orleans, the aftereffects of Katrina, and the transformation of a city into something not quite what its inhabitants have made" (Kaitlyn Greenidge, The Cut). -- From dust jacket
