The powerhouse behind the rock band Airborne Toxic Event, Mikel Jollett shares his story of growth and redemption in this highly-anticipated memoir, Hollywood Park. Told through his eyes as a vulnerable child trying to find his place in the world, Mikel tells us about bouncing back from his young life and escape from a dangerous cult with an abusive brother, depressed mother and addicted father. The skewed sense of relationships he grew up with, has challenged Mikel to learn independence and responsibility, all while trying to maintain whatever semblance of a "normal" childhood he can.
I am a huge fan of memoirs. Especially those where the protagonist has escaped a life of destruction and gained a new beginning. Mikel's story is as powerful as his music. I highly recommend!
