Book sounded like the "same old, same old", except for the ghetto poetry. A story of an obese abused child/teen in the "system", however she climbs out only due to her own perserverance, not any help from social workers til after her gives birth to her second child by her "father". Precious' desire for a higher education to keep her and her babies out of the trap of welfare is beyond admirable. I don't get the "hoopla" over this, unless it's the movie that made it popular and not the book. Contains graphic sexual abuse and language.
