Heart of Harlem

Growing up in Harlem, Precious was raised in a bad neighborhood to begin with and faced with many obstacles. I felt so sympathetic towards her for so many reasons such as the way she was raised. I cannot imagine living in a neighborhood so dangerous. Precious lived a completely different life than what I know now. She did all of the cooking,  was raped by her father, abused by her mother, uneducated, had two children of her own and had no reason for simply anything. She had nobody else in her house to turn to as an abused only child. My heart was saddened for her in hopes someone would help her.
