The Yellow House: A Memoir by Sarah M. Broom

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

A touching and emotional tribute to a family and the place that brought them all together, for better or for worse. This memoir touches on important themes of family, home, poverty, race, and hope in an inspiring yet realistic and dark narrative that doesn’t sugar coat any of the bad times. Sarah’s indictment of the way that America, Louisiana, and New Orleans itself has shunned and neglected New Orleans East is at once desperately sad but necessary and sincere.
