By Coincidence

Chance, Choice and the Life in Between

A raw and gripping memoir of survival, betrayal, and transformation.

From the streets of Stockton to the prison yards of California, Ro-Derick Dunn’s life was shaped by violence, loyalty, and hard choices. Caught in a cycle of retaliation, broken trust, and institutional failure, he faced the realities of street life head-on—until the pain of the past and the weight of regret forced him to confront who he had become.

Told with brutal honesty and unflinching reflection, By Coincidence is a powerful story of what it means to fight for survival—and what it takes to finally seek change. Dunn’s journey offers a rare, inside look at the emotional and psychological toll of crime, incarceration, and the long road toward redemption.

This is more than a street story. It’s a testimony of resilience.
