Precious: Based on the Book: Push

If you have never read the book Push by Sapphire, you should because I have never read a book more powerfully raw and potent than this one. It will break your heart, make you cry, make you angry and change you. That’s something that cannot be said very often.

Lionsgate has debuted the trailer for Lee Daniels’ Precious, which is due out in theaters in November. This is a must see, must-read. Read the book now before you go see the movie.

The movie features Mo’Nique, Lenny Kravitz, and Mariah Carey.
