 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.   less

it was too INTENSE for my sensitive nature... I think i put it down for some satirical fiction to lighten my load and my mind.

Unforgettable and intense (violent) story of urban adversity and the mechanisms to cope with it. Set in contemporary Harlem, New York. I read the original manuscript before it was published and was blown away. A dark modern classic.
