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.

Review:
"Kirkus Reviews"The 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.
