Random Family, written by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc and published in 2003, is a compelling work of narrative non-fiction that follows the lives of two young women, Jessica and Coco, over the course of a decade in the South Bronx. The book delves into their experiences with poverty, love, violence, and the criminal justice system, providing an intimate portrait of life in marginalized communities.
Jessica becomes involved with a drug dealer and experiences the highs and lows of life within a world of fast money, while Coco struggles to raise her children and find stability amidst the chaos. LeBlanc spent over ten years documenting their stories, offering a detailed look at the impact of incarceration, teen pregnancy, and systemic poverty on individuals and families.
Random Family is celebrated for its unflinching, empathetic portrayal of real lives caught in cycles of hardship, and its deeply humanizing approach to the challenges of urban poverty.
