Sister Souljah, the hip-hop generation's number one author
and most compelling storyteller, delivers a powerful story about
love and loyalty, strength and family. In her bestselling novel,
The Coldest Winter Ever, Sister Souljah introduced the world to
Midnight, a brave but humble lieutenant to a prominent
underworld businessman. Now, in a highly anticipated follow-up
to her million-selling masterpiece, she brings readers into the
life and dangerously close to the heart of this silent, fearless
young man.
Raised in a wealthy, influential, Islamic African family,
Midnight enjoys a life of comfort, confidence, and protection.
Midnight's father provides him with a veil of privilege and
deep, devoted love, but he never hides the truth about the
fierce challenges of the world outside of his estate. So when
Midnight's father's empire is attacked, he sends Midnight with
his mother to the United States.
In the streets of Brooklyn, a young Midnight uses his Islamic
mind-set and African intelligence to protect the ones he loves,
build a business, reclaim his wealth and status, and remain true
to his beliefs.
Midnight, a handsome and passionate young man, attracts many
women. How he interacts and deals with them is a unique
adventure. This is a highly sensual and tremendous love story
about what a man is willing to risk and give to the women he
loves most. Midnight will remain in your mind and beat in your
heart for a lifetime.
Her "raw and true voice" (Publishers Weekly) will both soothe
and arouse you. In a beautifully written and masterfully woven
story, Sister Souljah has given us Midnight, and solidified her
presence as the mother of all contemporary urban literature.
