This book is very well written and to the point. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations The film's first story is about Precious herself, a character whose endlessly miserable life is like something out of The Trojan Women: When she's not getting raped and impregnated by her father, she's getting sexually, physically, and verbally abused by her mother Mary (Mo'Nique.) Didn't make sense and jumped from one thing to another.

Mary berates Precious, saying that She cant learn sh*t, that Precious should better get her ass to welfare to start getting welfare. Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire, or simply Precious, is a 2009 American drama film, directed and co-produced by Lee Daniels. If you want to read a true account of multi-racial fostering, and the issues it raises about identity in 1970s England, then this is the book for you.

So what better way to learn about her than through her own, halting dialect.

I would not read it again. The only thing for me is I would of liked to have found out more, like did she see her mother again?, Her sister and baby? What emerges is a strong woman with the courage to make something of her life, despite the hindrance of her natural birth mother and the trauma of her being fostered unto people, with little or no knowledge of black people in general.

Began inauspiciously but became a quite gripping. Brilliant book I literally couldn't put it down.

It is a very raw and honest memoir of Precious life. Did she ever go back to Africa to see her family?.

Mary does nothing but smoke, watch television and collect welfare through fraud (as she doesn't ever look for a job) and believes that education does nothing for Precious, who she would rather also collect welfare if only to bring money into the household.

You're listening to a sample of the Audible audio edition.Something went wrong.

I read this because I went through a similar experience when I was young so reading it I felt a real close affiliation with Precious.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2017 On the streets, she is bullied, called names, and pushed about. Looking back at this time with a modern eye, it seems almost unbelievable how Precious was treated as a young girl - as she is placed in situations where 'love' is a precious commodity indeed.
