Publisher's Summary

An electrifying first novel that shocks by its language, its circumstances, and its brutal honesty, Push recounts a young black street-girl's horrendous and redemptive journey through a Harlem inferno. For Precious Jones, 16 and pregnant with her father's child, miraculous hope appears and the world begins to open up for her when a courageous, determined teacher bullies, cajoles, and inspires her to learn to read, to define her own feelings and set them down in a diary.

Heartwrenching.

Sobbing. Such a beautiful story of so many women's lives. I felt my heart actually aching through some parts. I had watched the movie when I was younger, never actually sought the book though. I am so glad I did. Wow.
