A book of great ambition\, Sarah M. Broom& rsquo\;s \;The \;Yellow House \;tells a hundred years of her f amily and their relationship to home in a neglected area of one of America &rsquo\;s most mythologized cities. This is the story of a mother&rsquo\;s struggle against a house&rsquo\;s entropy\, and that of a prodigal daught er who left home only to reckon with the pull that home exerts\, even afte r the Yellow House was wiped off the map after Hurricane Katrina. \;Th e Yellow House \;expands the map of New Orleans to include the stories of its \;lesser known \;natives\, guided deftly by one of its nat ive daughters\, to demonstrate how enduring drives of clan\, pride\, and f amilial love resist and defy erasure. Located in the gap between the &ldqu o\;Big Easy&rdquo\; of tourist guides and the New Orleans in which Broom w as 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 u nparalleled new voice of startling clarity\, authority\, and power. \;
