Precious Jones has up until recently been invisible to the father who rapes, the mother who beats her and to the authorities who dismiss her as just one more of Harlem's casualties. But when Precious, now pregnant with her second child to her father, meets a determined and radical teacher, we follow her on a journey of education and enlightenment as she learns not only how to write about her life, but how to make it truly her own for the first time.
