One of my favorite books Push by Sapphire is on its way to the Sundance Film Festival thanks to film director Lee Daniels. Push tells the story of a confused, overweight African-American girl named Clareece "Precious" Jones.Verbally and sexually abused by her family, her troubles lead to problems in school. Precious, as she is known, has no friends, no money, two kids (from her father), and she's illiterate. After being accepted into an alternative school where a teacher helps her find an alternative path in her life. Along her journey, she comes across a concerned social worker and a nurse who shows her much kindness.
The eagerly anticipated film, based on the best-selling book of the same name, boasts an all-star cast including Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, Kimberly Russell, and Sherri Shepherd of 'The View.'
