push

Push is a wonderful book so far! I have to admit it is very hard for me to read it because of the curse words and the beatings. Precious is a very strong young girl that’s struggling in school and she has to put up with her mom constantly insulting her. I can imagine how hard it is to have your mom hate you so much that she just wants to beat on you. I love reading these kinds of books because it helps you see reality. Things like this happen to people everyday of their lives. Precious has to go through so much in her life, not to mention she has 2 kids already and she not even in high school yet. That has to be really hard. Her mom hates her so much is because precious kids are by her father. So her mom is very angry that her dad wants her instead of her mother. I think that is the worst thing you can do to your child as a father. Sexual abuse is a major problem in our society today. I hate reading the sad parts in the book because it makes me cry, I don’t understand how people can be so evil to precious. Since her mother doesn’t have a boyfriend she makes precious touch her, I just think her mom is so wrong for this. No child should have to go through anything like this. Her life is really hard and the way she handles it at times is very good but, its only so much she can do about her life because she not even in high school yet. She is sent to a alternative school during her years in school, this is where I think everything starts to get a little better for her. She meets an amazing woman who helps her and at a point in time lets precious stay with her. I love reading this book and it touches me. I can’t wait to finish reading it.
