About this ebook

A New York Times and USA TODAY Bestseller
“50 Most Impactful Black Books of the Last 50 Years.” —Essence
Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

The instant classic from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Life After Death brings the streets of New York to life in a powerful and utterly unforgettable novel.

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, she knows and loves the streets like the curves of her own body. 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.

Twenty-five years and over one million copies later, The Coldest Winter Ever is a bestseller and a national treasure, a classic handed down from one reading generation to the next. Whether you are reading it for the first time or have cherished it for years, you will never forget this Winter’s tale.

I paid for this book for it to not even let me read it. It only shows the first 6 pages of a chapter then I have to jump to the next chapter just to continue reading and the pages keep repeating.I thought it was my phone but it's not all my other downloaded books aren't doing that it's just this one. Sucks

I was disappointed in reading this book. I heard so many people talking about how good this was. I didn't have that same excitement while reading. While reading, I was thinking to myself, man I need to hurry up and finish. The ending was very disappointing.

I had very high expectations for this book.! I rarely run into a book that I didn't like but the story was completely unrealistic long and a bunch of unnecessary situations and in the ending let's say she could have done better!
