本書改編成電影"珍愛人生"
【珍愛人生】由李丹尼爾斯執導,是一部激勵人心、誠摯感人又充滿希望的動人電影,描述一名黑人少女珍愛:她的人生拿到一手爛牌,又胖又醜還經常受到很大的屈辱,但是她從來沒有想要放棄自己。
故事背景設定在1987年的紐約市哈林區,16歲的黑人女孩克蕾絲「珍愛」瓊斯(嘉柏莉西迪貝 飾)從小就過著令人無法想像的悲慘生活。她遭受離家的父親性侵已兩度懷孕,在家還必須悉心伺候脾氣暴躁的母親(莫妮克 飾),而且母親經常虐待她,她動輒得咎,對她生理和心理都造成極大傷害。課業方面則是一片混亂,她雖然升到國三,卻有著一個不欲人知的秘密,那就是她不會讀也不會寫是個文盲。
珍愛有時會心情低落,但她從不放棄。雖然表面上喜怒不形於色,然而她內心其實是的對生命充滿好奇和強烈求生慾望的少女,使得她的人生存在各種可能性。在被退學的威脅下,她獲得機會轉學到特殊學校「一對一教學」。珍愛並不瞭解「特殊」所代表的意義,不過她的直覺告訴她,這是她一直在等待的機會。在文學營中,她接受耐心但嚴格的蕾恩小姐(寶拉巴頓 飾)指導,引領她走出黑暗、痛苦和無力感的生活,逐漸邁向光明、自主和充滿愛的人生。
