In her extraordinary bestseller, Adrian Nicole LeBlanc immerses
readers in the intricacies of the ghetto, revealing the true sagas
lurking behind the headlines of gangsta glamour, gold-drenched drug
dealers, and street-corner society. Focusing on two
romances--Jessica's dizzying infatuation with a hugely successful
young heroin dealer, Boy George, and Coco's first love with
Jessica's little brother, Cesar--"Random Family" is the story of
young people trying to outrun their destinies. Jessica and Boy
George ride the wild adventure between riches and ruin, while Coco
and Cesar stick closer to the street, all four caught in a
precarious dance between survival and death. Friends get murdered;
the DEA and FBI investigate Boy George; Cesar becomes a fugitive;
Jessica and Coco endure homelessness, betrayal, the heartbreaking
separation of prison, and, throughout it all, the insidious damage
of poverty.
Charting the tumultuous cycle of the generations--as girls become
mothers, boys become criminals, and hope struggles against
deprivation--LeBlanc slips behind the cold statistics and
sensationalism and comes back with a riveting, haunting, and true
story.
