Synopses & Reviews
Renowned hip-hop artist, writer, and activist Sister Souljah brings the streets of New York to life in a powerful and utterly unforgettable first novel.
I came busting into the world during one of New York's worst snowstorms, so my mother named me Winter.Ghetto-born, Winter is the young, wealthy daughter of a prominent Brooklyn drug-dealing family. Quick-witted, sexy, and business-minded, she knows and loves the streets like the curves of her own body. But when a cold Winter wind blows her life in a direction she doesn't want to go, her street smarts and seductive skills are put to the test of a lifetime.
Unwilling to lose, this ghetto girl will do anything to stay on top.
The Coldest Winter Ever marks the debut of a gifted storyteller. You will never forget this Winter's tale.

Sister Souljah is the #1 author of the hip-hop generation. She is a powerful and uncompromising voice for human rights.
Review
Kirkus ReviewsThe Coldest Winter Ever is a tour de force....As finely tuned to its heroine's voice as Alice Walker's The Color Purple....Riveting stuff, with language so frank it curls your hair.
Review
The New YorkerWinter is nasty, spoiled, and almost unbelieveably libidinous, and it's ample evidence of the author's talent that she is also deeply sympathetic.
