In the end, Carl's rape has fatal consequences, because Precious will likely die from the HIV that her own father passed on to her. By age 12, Precious is pregnant with Carl's baby. When she is still just a young child, he starts raping Precious. This child rapist is so disturbed that when he has a baby with his wife, he fixates on her. She even calls her first grandchild, "The Little Mongo" because the child is born with Down Syndrome (because it is an incestuous pregnancy from her father's rape). Jealous that her husband, Carl, would rather have sex with their daughter than herself, Mary takes her resent out on Precious, physically beating her and humiliating her. At school, she is misunderstood, and her social paralysis and reading issues (along with her second pregnancy) lead to her expulsion from school, but she decides to find another way to attain her education. She is also a mother, raising her two children (sibling children, in fact, because the babies' father is Precious's father too, who rapes her often throughout her entire childhood). Written by people who wish to remain anonymousĪn unfortunate girl who finally finds her voice as a powerful poet. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
