Push - Sapphire

This is the book the upcoming movie Precious is based on.
Very good novel. I needed to keep reminding myself it was a novel. In no case was this passed off as a memoir. Push follows the life of an obese teenager who has lost her childhood. At 12 she had her first child. The book follows her struggle to overcome life.
This is a very graphic book and I can imagine there are not many people who would feel comfortable reading it.
I am looking forward to the movie.

I saw this girl on tv the other day, the one who plays Precious in the movie, and it was quite an interesting interview.

I too have seen several of the actresses in this movie promoting it. It sounds heart-wrenching to say the least. Don't know if I could make it thru the book.

Since I first heard of this movie and book on Oprah a while back, I've been trying to get the book through our local library. I'm still on the waiting list. Seems that it became very popular since the advertising. Hopefully, I won't have too long a wait
