In The Coldest Winter Ever, internationally known author, activist,
and hip-hop artist Sister Souljah brought the streets of New York to
life in a powerful and unforgettable first novel. Beautifully written,
raw, and authentic, this novel firmly established Sister Souljah as the
mother of all contemporary urban literature and the author of the first
classic of the genre.
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,
this teenage female hustler knows and loves the streets like the curves
of her own body. But when a cold wind blows her life in a direction she
never expected, her street smarts and seductive skills are put to the
test of a lifetime.
In this special gift edition, Sister Souljah shares her secret thoughts
on creating the story that rocked ghettos worldwide and introduced all
readers to the real ghetto experience. For the first time ever, readers
will discover the answers to the continuous questions asked by her fans.
Souljah discusses the symbolism behind characters like Midnight and
Santiaga, as well as the many meanings of the story. Readers will also
learn about Souljah's unique writing process and exactly what inspired
her to pen the definitive novel of the hip-hop generation. In her own
voice, Souljah will share why this novel is truly a story of our time.

Rapper, activist, and hip-hop rebel, Sister Souljah possesses the
most passionate and articulate voice to emerge from the projects. Now
she uses that voice to deliver what is at once a fiercely candid
autobiography and a survival manual for any African American woman
determined to keep her heart open and her integrity intact in 1990s
America.
"Sister Souljah is one of the most eloquent and articulate spokespersons
of her generation. Listen to her courageous and painful words in this
book." Cornel
West
"Sister Souljah is a legitimate young voice in black America, a solid
thinker who is astute, justifiably angry, and boldly outspoken. In No
Disrespect she sets the record straight on where she stands on life,
love, spirituality, and race."Nathan McCall
