In the beginning of the book Precious lacked power. She had no control over her situation. My question is how is who has the power determined. What does it me to obtain power? In this book as well as for precious to obtaining power was her gaining self control, it was her taking charge and saying that it is her life and only she controls it from now on .As the book goes on she gains that power which isn’t hard to believe seeing as she figured out how to survive under someone else power over her. But is her gaining her power going to be a forever thing and will she keep going on with only her controlling her life. Or will she search for love because the lack of not having it is un bearing. She is only human and I’m curious of if she stays strong. I’m curious if she becomes like her mother in the sense of wanting someone to love her and fall into the trap of that love being controlling and abusive. I’m not saying she going to turn out wrong, in fact I’m rooting for her to be better than her mother. It is just uncommon for an abuse victim to just go on with their life. Everyone needs closure from any situation. I wonder if another book will be published, and what happens to her mom, what happens with her. With books you really get into and can see everything the person goes through it is hard to walk away saying it was a good book, indeed it was but now I have so many questions un answered so it becomes a good book that left me with an incomplete perspective.
