Push : a novel

Sapphire 1950- (Author).

Summary: "This is a blunt but hope-filled story. At times, it reads as a textbook for the challenges facing adult learners. It is an amazing work of fiction which highlights the barriers faced by people who fall through the cracks. The novel is graphic and contains adult content. Discretion is advised. Reading level varies throughout the novel, between grades 2-3 and 6. Some readers may find variant spelling confusing (for example, "axes" for asks and "bedda" for better). At the end of the novel, there is poetry and sample writing from adult learners featured in the story." – February 2010
