ByPublisher Description
A new 25th anniversary edition of the instant classic that inspired the major motion picture and Sundance Film Festival winner Precious: Based on the Novel by Sapphire, whose power and ferocity influenced a generation of writers.
Precious Jones, an illiterate sixteen-year-old, has up until now been invisible to the father who rapes her and the mother who batters her and to the authorities who dismiss her as just one more of Harlem's casualties. But when Precious, pregnant with a second child by her father, meets a determined and radical teacher, we follow her on a journey of education and enlightenment as she learns not only how to write about her life, but how to make it truly her own for the first time.

Report
“This book has a large amount of difficult themes. The book is short but extremely affective and emotionally driven. (I felt angry, disgusted, uncomfortable, confused, empowered and sad all in the span of 170 pages.)
The reason for the low rating: the book is not something I would usually read. Nor is it something I want to remember.
I do not recommend if you are sensitive to or have extreme traumas.”
