       Desc : Hollywood Park is a remarkable memoir of a tumultuous
       life. Mikel Jollett was born into one of the country’s most
       infamous cults, and subjected to a childhood filled with
       poverty, addiction, and emotional abuse. Yet, ultimately, his is
       a story of fierce love and family loyalty told in a raw, poetic
       voice that signals the emergence of a uniquely gifted writer.We
       were never young. We were just too afraid of ourselves. No one
       told us who we were or what we were or where all our parents
       went. They would arrive like ghosts, visiting us for a morning,
       an afternoon. They would sit with us or walk around the grounds,
       to laugh or cry or toss us in the air while we screamed. Then
       they’d disappear again, for weeks, for months, for years,
       leaving us alone with our memories and dreams, our questions and
       confusion. …So begins Hollywood Park, Mikel Jollett’s remarkable
       memoir. His story opens in an experimental commune in
       California, which later morphed into the Church of Synanon, one
       of the country’s most infamous and dangerous cults. Per the
       leader’s mandate, all children, including Jollett and his older
       brother, were separated from their parents when they were six
       months old, and handed over to the cult’s “School.” After
       spending years in what was essentially an orphanage, Mikel
       escaped the cult one morning with his mother and older brother.
       But in many ways, life outside Synanon was even harder and more
       erratic.In his raw, poetic and powerful voice, Jollett portrays
       a childhood filled with abject poverty, trauma, emotional abuse,
       delinquency and the lure of drugs and alcohol. Raised by a
       clinically depressed mother, tormented by his angry older
       brother, subjected to the unpredictability of troubled
       step-fathers and longing for contact with his father, a former
       heroin addict and ex-con, Jollett slowly, often painfully,
       builds a life that leads him to Stanford University and,
       eventually, to finding his voice as a writer and
       musician.Hollywood Park is told at first through the limited
       perspective of a child, and then broadens as Jollett begins to
       understand the world around him. Although Mikel Jollett’s story
       is filled with heartbreak, it is ultimately an unforgettable
       portrayal of love at its fiercest and most loyal.
