This is one of the best books I have read. Also the things she had been through at a very young age.
This is a summary about the book Precious. I like to read all types on genres but this is the best one. I would give this book five starts because on the content of the book. I like that because that is just like real life how mother really treat their kids. She makes Precious cook, clean, and even eat when Precious don’t feel like eating. In this book the mother uses Precious for a welfare check. What I like about the book was how it relates to everyday living, and the pressure of a young having to deal with her mother or fathers stresses. Her mom only wanted her back home so she can continue to get welfare but tried to sneak her way and say she miss her daughter. Her mom try’s to get her to move back with her but precious had enough of being mistreated.
She didn’t let that get in her way because she had an object to rely on and that was to get her education. Precious finds out that she is HIV positive. During the school year she gives birth to her second child in the hospital, a boy and names him Abdul Jamal Louis Jones. Rain have the girls keep a journal that they will right in every day. The girls name are Rita, Rhonda, and Jermaine and all three girls had a troubled background. In this class there are a few more girls that have been going through problems also. She has been kicked out of school because of her being pregnant and the school sends her to an alternative school called “Each one Teach one.” Before she could go there she had to take a placement test to see what class room she would need to join. Than pregnant again with her father’s child. She had a child for her father at the age of 12, the baby was a girl and named her Montage. After her dad abandons the family Precious becomes the object of her mother frustrations. Precious experiences abuse at hands by both of her parents mother and father. She likes to go by her middle name Precious. The story is about a 16 year old African American female.
