Sapphire, author of Push, is back! The Kid (JULY 5th)

The Kid follows the son of Claireece "Precious" Jones, the sexually abused, illiterate heroine of Push. This coming-of-age story focuses on Claireece's son as he navigates the mean streets of New York City that threatened to swallow his mother whole. While Push ended with Claireece finding out she was HIV-positive, her son doesn't have the disease. What he does have, however, is the soul of an artist, which he hopes will keep him alive. http://www.thegrio.com/entertainment/sapphire-to-publish-push-sequel-the-kid.php
