Performed by the author
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.

Great read

Definitely a great read. A book to pass on , so everyone can be touched by the hurt, pain, desperation,unforgivable ignorance, friendship and unconditional love but mostly the strength that seemed to come from somewhere deep inside. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Excellent

Product arrived in perfect condition and in less than a week. I already knew what the book was about before I decided to purchase it. It does end a little differently than the movie does. But the book has more details, of course. It's a good read!

A Powerful Read!

Push the novel by poet/author Saphire is vividly description, well written, and poetically phrased. I found myself drawn into the environment of the main character "Precious" and the extremely abusive relationship she has lived in all her young adult life. At times it was hard to read about the encounters she had. This story holds no punches. I look forward to the upcoming film version of this book.
