Unfortunately, books in the Urban Literature or Urban Fiction genre are not given the same respect as other literary genres.
Sister Souljah is the only urban fiction author I’ve read and I respect her writing sooo much. She was striving to bring her separated family back together, only to realize that life outside of juvy had really changed and maybe the familial love disappeared…
Love is the reason behind all of Porsche’s actions- whether good or bad.
After spending about 2 years in juvy and forming some key friendships (The Diamond Needles) that positively influenced her life, she successfully escapes juvy with some members of the Diamond Needles and soon learns many, many, many lessons about love and life through her painful adventures. This book is a coming-of-age and cautionary tale that focuses on how ghetto-born, 10 year old Porsche Santiaga, coped with being sent to juvy (juvenile detention) after her family was separated by the arrest of her father- Ricky Santiaga who was a notorious drug lord from Brooklyn, New York. I read The Coldest Winter Everabout 10 years ago and all I remember is that it was ahhh-mazing! With that said, A Deeper Love Inside: The Porsche Santiaga Story is not a sequel – this book has very little to do with Winter, Porsche’s older sister. This was a fun read! It was a bit slow in the beginning or first 150 pages, but it got better. Sister Souljah’s soulful writing will again move your heart and open your eyes to a shocking reality. In A Deeper Love Inside, readers will encounter their favorite characters from The Coldest Winter Ever, including Winter and Midnight. Unselfishly, she pushes to get back everything that ever belonged to her loving family. Porsche- unique, young and beautiful – cries as much as she fights and uses whatever she has to reclaim her status. Passionate and loyal to the extreme, Porsche refuses to accept her new life in group homes, foster care and juvenile detention after her wealthy family is torn apart. A natural born hustler, Porsche is also cut from the same cloth as her father, the infamous Ricky Santiaga. Frighteningly fierce, raw, and filled with completely unpredictability, this coming-of-age adventure is woven with emotional intensity.Ī Deeper Love Inside is written in the words of Porsche Santiaga, Winter’s sharp-tongued, quick-witted younger sister. Porsche worships Winter. At last, mega-bestselling author Sister Souljah delivers the stunning sequel to The Coldest Winter Ever that fans have been eagerly waiting for.
