Take This Man: A Memoir by Brando Skyhorse

By MPL Staff on Oct 7, 2014 9:32 AM

Mexican American Maria Ulloa creates a false identity and storyline for her young son. She tells him that he is Native American, the son of the infamous political activist Paul Skyhorse. His actual Mexican father was thrown out of the house by his unstable wife when Brando was just three years old. Maria has a series of five “marriages” and in each one Brando searches to find a father figure. Even though it is “never boring,” Skyhorse’s life is filled with instability, abandonment and disillusionment. Take This Man is his riveting story. Suggested for those who enjoyed The Glass Castle or The Tender Bar.
