Inherent to the drug-dealing lifestyle comes a level of violence and the constant threat of prison time. Selling drugs is what makes Winter’s family wealthy, but it’s also what leads to her family’s ultimate downfall. Much urban fiction deals with themes such as prison, drugs, and violence, and The Coldest Winter Ever is no different. In this way, Winter’s sexuality is as much a focus of the novel as her family’s involvement in the dealing of drugs. As a result, much of the novel details Winter’s most intimate thoughts and moments with men she doesn’t shy away from describing men’s genitals or her physical sensations during sex. She is acutely aware of her sexuality and how best to use it to get what she wants. Winter is best described as self-absorbed and highly carnal. Told from Winter’s point of view, the language in the novel often reflects hip hop and street culture colloquialisms.
