This first novel by the poet and performance artist Sapphire tells the story of how Precious miraculously finds redemption and deliverance through the efforts of one of her teachers, who teaches her to read and write.

This book is very serious and enlightening. It is so real but yet so eye-opening. The only thing is the grammar is on a different level! There is a movie coming out really soon called PRECIOUS, it is based on this book.
I wanted to read the book before I went to see the movie. The was a fast and interesting read that I was able to do while I was away on vacation. The book was shipped the same day ordered and I received it in less than one week. I enjoyed reading the book and can't wait to see the movie. This is my first purchase from overstock but I will use overstock again.
I bought this book after hearing about the movie. I read the first chapter online and was hooked so I had to buy it. The book was a little more graphic than I thought but not offensive. I loaned the book to a friend after I finished reading it. I was a little surprised with the ending of the book and looked for a sequel. I am looking forward to watching the movie and hope it has a better ending.
The Book came in great condition.. Awesome Book, Awesome Movie... The Book arrived just in time , so I was able to read it before the movie came out.. Great Great Great
