Under the Dryer – PUSH a novel by Sapphire
July 3rd, 2009 by Apjonabudget
I know ive been kind of MIA, but I got my hands on PUSH, a book by Sapphire that has been turned into a movie. All my free time has been spent glued to this book. The movie is called Precious and I believe its due out this fall; its an Oprah and Tyler Perry production and now that i’ve read the book, I can’t wait. Simply put, go get it… its just that good. The movie has won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and it features the likes of Monique, Mariah Carey, and Paula Patton. I’ve heard Monique talk about it in the past and I had heard she did a good job. This is no comedy, this is pure drama, but I wasnt prepared for the plot. Take a look at the trailer I posted. Its deep yall, now that i’ve read the book I’ve got to put my stamp of approval on it and tell everybody I can. This girl is 16, illiterate, broke, and pregnant by her father, for the SECOND time. She meets a teacher that teaches her life should and can be different. It truly takes a village to raise a child.

I read this book YEARS ago! And I could not remember what it was called. Thank you.
