Riverstone Books is thrilled with the success of our relaunched book club. Our second book in the new hybrid format will be The Yellow House by Sarah M. Broom.
A powerful memoir debut and the 2019 National Book Award winner for Non-Fiction, The Yellow House follows a family and their home beginning with the promise of the early 60's and the heartbreaking losses to the destruction from Hurricane Katrina and the rebirth that follows.
Like a phoenix from the ashes, Sarah Broom is a wild and unruly child who flees the safety and comfort of family, home, and New Orleans only to be pulled back to it all by the bonds of the same. Her family's story is one of brilliant beginnings and tragic ends with all the love and longing that comes. We learn from her life, her family's experiences, the "Big Easy" and the titular Yellow House.
