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 PUSH 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.
