[tps_header]Push by Sapphire[/tps_header]
Ramona Lofton, writing under the pen name Saff
ire, crafted a tale of incest and abuse that is so graphic that it’s hard to read. The story of Claireece Precious Jones is soul-churning. But you know she exists somewhere in the world, which compels you to continue to see how she turns out. The story was so compelling that when it was done, there was a bidding war for it off the first 100 pages. Push was published by prestigious publishing house Alfred Knopf and sold more than 100,000 copies in his first run. The story was so vivid it was optioned for a movie. Precious catapulted the career of Lee Daniels and garnered Mo-Nique an Oscar for the role of Precious’s mother.
