Can't Forgive

My 20-Year Battle with O.J. Simpson

By: Kim Goldman

Narrated by: Kim Goldman

When Kim Goldman was just 22, her older brother, Ron, was brutally killed by O. J. Simpson. Ron and Kim were very close, and her devastation was compounded by the shocking not guilty verdict that allowed a smirking Simpson to leave as a free man.

It wasn't Kim's first trauma. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she and Ron were raised by their father. Her mother kidnapped her, telling her that her father didn't love her any more. When she was 14, she was almost blinded from severe battery acid burns on her face during an automobile accident, requiring three reconstructive surgeries.

But none of these early traumas compared to the loss of her brother, the painful knowledge that his killer was free, and the fact that she could not even grieve privately. Counseled by friends, strangers, and even Oprah to "find closure", Kim chose a different route. She chose to fight.

Fantastic

Great book and although a sad story it is engulfed with a tremendous bond between father and daughter and son and daughter.

Goldman fascinates me

Kim is a wonderful person! I wish she knew she was meant to comfort and support those less fortunate! The Goldmans are the true HEROES thru that awful trial! They never gave up and never showed mercy to the killer that based on bias was set free. You go girl!

A sister’s journey

I loved this title and getting to know Kim. I was captivated by her voice and drawn into this memoir. I really appreciated her honesty. It was a good reminder to cherish your family! Thank you, Kim!

Relatable

I thought she was very candid and real. Thanks to Kim for sharing her story.

Kim is a good narrator

…makes the book more interesting, listening to it in her voice. She’s been through a lot. I thought she maintained a good balance of information versus personal feelings. May the rest of her days be blessed.
