I was more interested in the idea of this story than the story itself. It sounds unique -- Brando is raised as an American Indian only to find out as a preteen that he's actually Mexican -- but the foundation of the story is simply the cruel emotional abuse Skyhorse endured. I cringed while I read this book - the scenes are painful. I didn't mind the style of writing, but I feel like Skyhorse wrote the book more for himself than an audience. It was hard to stay hooked to this book, especially when relief or release didn't seem to come for the author in adulthood.
