* READ THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE FILM PRECIOUS *

This 25th Anniversary Edition includes a new preface from Tayari Jones, and a new afterword by the author.


This is the story of Precious Jones, a sixteen year old illiterate black girl who has never been out of Harlem. She is pregnant by her own father for the second time, and kicked out of school. Placed in an alternative teaching programme, she learns to read and write. This is Precious''s diary, in which she honestly records her relationships and her life.
