YELLOW SHOTGUN ON DEMETER STREET

A Prize-Winning Novella by Diane Daniels Manning

YELLOW SHOTGUN ON DEMETER STREET is a story of loss and redemption where the past meets the present, unlikely strangers become family, and a fragile love is glimpsed through the stained glass window of a dilapidated shotgun cottage. Set in New Orleans, 1987, the “City that Care Forgot” is famous for Mardi Gras, jazz, and mint juleps; but underneath the glitter lurks a darker world marred by three hundred years of racial injustice reified in shotgun cottages and garçonnières where white men exploited young black women.
