Precious by Sapphire
This is the story of Precious Jones, a sixteen year old illiterate black girl who has never been out of Harlem
She is pregnant by her own father for the second time, and kicked out of school when that pregnancy becomes obvious. Placed in an alternative teaching programme, she is urged to write down her thoughts in a book. This is Precious's diary, in which she honestly records her relationships and her life.
Told with tremendous power, vitality and wit; this is an uncompromising and hugely enjoyable novel.
