Called "altogether a terrific book" by legendary author Peter Matthiessen, The Madonnas of Echo Park is Brando Skyhorse's extraordinary debut. Revolving around the random shooting of a young girl, this novel interweaves stories from the barrios of Los Angeles to coalesce into a powerful examination of the Mexican-American experience. "Skyhorse excels at building a vibrant community and presenting several perspectives on what it means to be Mexican in America." -Publishers Weekly
