About the book
The Coldest Winter Ever, a 1999 novel by Sister Souljah, is set in Brooklyn and narrated in hip-hop-inflected slang by Winter Santiaga, a brash teenager whose father is a local drug kingpin. His power makes her notorious in the neighborhood, and she uses it to get whatever she wants, insisting she deserves only the best. When he is arrested for drug trafficking, her comfortable world falls apart and she ends up in a girls' home. There she relies on skills learned from him to keep her lifestyle going. The book explores greed, sex, violence and poverty.
