Book Title: The Yellow House

Author: Sarah M. Broom

Selection Statement:

This is a book by a new author, just published in 2019. I selected it because it inspires me in my journey now. The world post-COVID-19 and after George Floyd’s death has radically changed. To me the book spoke of how we might continue on and what we must account for to survive. It uses the story of the relationship among people, culture and the land, through the lens of a Black family in New Orleans.
