"Compelling...tugs at the emotions."

"Kirkus Review"

"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.

Synopsis

The daughter of one of Brooklyn's biggest drug lords. Winter Santiaga's got the stuff to strut-and she knows it. Sweet sixteen-going-on-seventeen, she's fast, brash, sexy, and, from where she sits, life looks pretty good. But things start to fall apart when her dad tells her that they are leaving the city for the Long Island suburbs. He sees the move as an escape from the rough side of his business, but he can't predict the ways in which life is about to dramatically change for his family.
