About this ebook
In this electrifying novel, New York Times bestselling author and “an important voice in American literature” (Jada Pinkett Smith) Sister Souljah returns to the story of her beloved character, Midnight.
Handsome, young, Muslim, and married to two women living in one house along with his mother, Umma, and sister, Naja: can Midnight manage all that he has on his plate? He is surrounded by Americans who don’t share or understand his faith or culture, and adults who are offended by his maturity, intelligence, and his natural ability to make his hard work turn into real money. He is calm, confident, and cool, Ninja-trained and powerful, but one moment of rage throws this Brooklyn youth into a dark world of dirty police, gangs, guns, drugs, prisons, and dangerous inmates. Everything he ever believed, every dollar he ever earned, and all of the women he ever loved—including his mother—are at risk.
Will his manhood be taken, broken, or altered? Can he maintain his faith? Outnumbered, overruled, and deeply envied—how can he possibly survive? Will the streets convert him? What can he keep? What must he lose?

Someone may say that the story of Midnight is drug out but don't pay attention to the lessons that are within the story that can be learned. I'm pretty sure not many people are familiar with both cultures that are portayed either. I took these books as a learning experience as I do all books; researching words I don't know, listening to music I've never heard, studying cultures that are foreign to me, and being captivated by this awesome love story. This series is a job well done. Hopefully there's more too

Love love love. The Midnight series are part religious guide, part love story, part adventure, part mystery novel, part travel manual and all parts life lessons. I can't get enough. Sister Souljah clearly took her time and did her research to create these masterpieces. The brilliant thing is that she made it accessible to the masses. I would buy anything she writes and highly recommend the Midnight series.
