56:16Now PlayingSkyhorse’s father left when he was three; thereafter, his mother took up with one alcoholic or deadbeat or ex-con after another. In this powerful memoir of five stepfathers and a mother whose mythmaking included renaming the family to suggest American Indian rather than Mexican descent, Skyhorse, author of The Madonnas of Echo Park, recounts his long and tortuous coming of age.
