They warned me the book would be hard to read. I jumped right over their disclaimers and clicked “Sign me up!” eagerly. They weren’t kidding either. Sapphire’s The Kid, the sequel to Push (which the film Precious was based on), is a tough story. It’s not that I regret agreeing to review it. It’s just that it took me forever to read.  Read more >

About Me: 

I’m thankful for the early mornings a toddler brings. I’m thankful for the mess and dirt, for cars with squeaky brakes. I’m thankful for that extra roll of fat I gained and for temper tantrums. I’m thankful for every bit of it. This is the story of my life.
