The times are different but the "life" is true. As a survivor of incest, brutal beatings by a stepmother for 8 years, a life time of verbal abuse by a very embittered father,(I did not understand until after his death) who got stuck with children, he did not want but couldn't walk a from after the mother had done so. In her defense, she ran– away from my fathers brutal beatings and total control.I did not understand until after his death and the hatred and disdain of a nation – I know this life to be true and yet survivable. At age 60, far from the southside ghetto of Chicago, with an advance degree, I survived but I did not crack any glass ceilings. I have my issues still — but I'm okay.
Precious says that at the end. She has issues, she is HIV positive, but she has hope and she has love– her babies. Yep,she's gonna die, but she is gonna die trying to live. Some times, when you are not born with a silver spoon, much less a spoon of any kind — trying is a step up, one step at a time.
