A Child's Child

Just by reading the first page of the book, I am introduced to what a difficult life Claireece "Precious" Jones has. Right away I realize that she is an incest victim, uneducated and pregnant for the second time at the age of sixteen. This is disturbing to me in the fact that not only is she pregnant for the second time, but that both of her children are fathered by her own father. It is hard for me to believe that somebody could be in Precious' condition at her age. It is sad that she had no control over her own situation.
