🔥 Banned for being “too explicit” — but too true to ignore.
This brutal, unforgettable novel follows Precious, a 16-year-old Black girl in Harlem, pregnant with her father’s child and struggling to read. When she meets a teacher who helps her reclaim her voice, everything begins to change. Push is unflinching, raw, and empowering — exactly why censors tried to bury it.
Why it was banned: Graphic depictions of abuse and trauma — the kind of truth that makes people uncomfortable.
Recommended for: Adults, mature teens, fans of survival stories and gritty realism.
