A titan in the urban literature game is Sistah Souljah, author of the critically acclaimed 'Coldest Winter Ever', first released in 1999. Sistah Souljah created a heart-wrenching, drama-filled story that made us love and hate Ms. Winter Santiaga from start to finish.
We also met (and if you're like me, fell in LOVE with) the mysterious Midnight, Ricky Santiaga's smooth, right-hand man of few words. There are many holes in this character. He slips through the cracks when the feds blow over Santiaga's house of cards. He has no friends. No home. No background info. And he DOESN'T want Winter Santiaga (*sigh of relief for us GOOD girls*). But why?
She pulled us back up with her '08 installment, Midnight: A Gangster's Love Story.
With Midnight it seemed all burning questions would be answered. Why didn't he want Winter? Why didn't he get sent to prison like the rest? How did he hook up with Santiaga from jump? What type of females does he like? Sistah Souljah answered a few questions but true to form, left us hanging again.
And now... *drum roll please*
Sistah Souljah has graced us and released Midnight and the Meaning of Love. It picks up right where the 1st Midnight left off and should answer questions we all have. I plan to scoop a copy and you should too! Hit up your local book store or website and GET YOURS!
Let's hope it'll be a good morning when Midnight ends.
And if you're about to pass out holding your breath until you can get to a bookstore, here's an asthma pump:
