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.
