Precious Jones is a high-school girl with nothing working in her favor. She is pregnant with her father's child--for the second time. She can't read or write, and her schoolmates tease her for being fat. Her home life is a horror, ruled by a mother who keeps her imprisoned both emotionally and physically. Her instincts tell her one thing: if she's ever going to break from the chains of ignorance, she will have to dig deeply into her own resources. If you passed Precious on the street, you probably wouldn't notice her. But, as her story is revealed, you are left with an indelible image of a young woman who--with creativity, humor, and ferocity--finds the strength to turn her life around.
