I just finished reading Sapphire's Push, which is the inspiration for the acclaimed film Precious. I watched the film (a present from Daddy) the first day that it was released (and we both liked it); I'll give my complete review on one of the film threads later.
Like I mentioned, I watched the film before the novel--and that, in no way, altered my ability to enjoy or appreciate the novel. It's really powerful. For fans of Alice Walker's The Color Purple (which is one of my favorite novels), I highly recommend this book--the connections will amaze you! The narrative voice, the story...all the great elements are there! And, it also does something akin to awakening the reader's soul and bringing an acute awareness of the importance of witnessing. The couple of hours spent reading this novel are certainly not wasted!

A book of short stories by Mark Twain. The man was a genius!
