From the bestselling author of "Push," a story of survival and
awakening--and one young man's remarkable strength
"The Kid" brings us deep into the interior life of Abdul Jones,
son of Sapphire's unforgettable heroine, Precious. Left alone by
his mother's death to navigate in a world where love and hate
sometimes hideously masquerade, forced to confront unspeakable
violence, his history, and the dark corners of his own heart, Abdul
claws his way toward adulthood. In a generational story that moves
with the speed of thought from a Mississippi dirt farm to Harlem in
its heyday, from a troubled Catholic orphanage to downtown artists'
lofts, "The Kid" is a soaring tale of body and spirit, rooted in
the hungers of flesh and of the soul.
