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.

It is a transformative, deeply moving story from an unparalleled new voice of startling clarity, authority, and power.
