[Precious] "includes the novel Push and a reader's guide"--Cover.
Relentless, remorseless, and inspirational, this "horrific, hope-filled story" ("Newsday") is certain to haunt a generation of readers. Precious Jones, 16 years old and pregnant by her father with her second child, meets a determined and highly radical teacher who takes her on a journey of transformation and redemption.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not a happy story submitted by mrajraspn08 on June 18, 2014, 10:30am I don't think this was worth all the fuss, but I also don't think it's as depressing as people say. Definitely not a happy story, but an interesting and possibly triumphant one, as well.
