So this time around we were given a chance to pick our books, and I choose a very very intresting book by a lady names Sister Souljah. Its called the coldest winter ever and its captured in first person narrative from a girl named Winters Point of view. When I first started reading this book I fell in love with Winter. Shes a very interesting over privileged girl. She was born and raised in Brooklyn and later moved to Long Island.

Her father is a major rich drug dealer who does everything for her, so in a sense she doesn't know how to survive on her own. She looks down on others who can't spend like she, and she only dates men who have money to spend on her. She's a very promiscuous character, Winter. In the beginning of the book its explained that she had sex at the tender age of twelve which is a big hint to what kind of person she is. The only problem is her father Santiago doesn't want his daughter acting like this.

In the story Santiago has many street souljers who actually sell the drug and one of his most trusted is Midnight. The man who Winter has wanted to get with for since she was thirteen, the man who is five years older than winter, and the man who only looks at winter as a baby sister who he doesn't respect at all. Santiago drug dealing empire comes to a fall, Winter her three sister and mother have to find a way to fend for themselves. But Winter's mom becomes a crackhead and her sisters are left in CPS (Child Protective Services). Winter is taken to a group home where she starts little fashion business where she sell things to her friends there. but winter doesn't have alot of money so she gets her long time friend Simone to steal it for her, but one day when Simone is stealing the clothes for Winter to where to a concert, she gets caught the first person she calls to bail her out is Winter; but what does winter say NO.

That brings me to my first point Winter is such a horrible friend to her Mom,Sister,Simone, and Natalie. WHy couldn't she just have bailed her out, and on top of that shes spending hndreds of dollars even though she only has $2500. Just to impress Midnight who does not like her and who left winter whithought her, but apparentley she doesn't realize that he really doesn't like her. Shes a desperate whore, but I think thats over the time os this book she's learning.
