Synopsis

When Kim Goldman was just twenty-two, 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 fourteen, 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.

I enjoyed this at first, until I realized that Goldman was just going to gloss over her brother'a murder and the subsequent trials. It was odd what she chose to include and what she didn't. For instance, we got a pretty detailed narrative of her dating life and the birth and raising of her son, but......more

An autobiography dealing with the unfortunate circumstance of her brother being murdered. She writes about her daily struggles and past relationships. Throughout the book, she talks about her love and respect toward her father, her brother, and her child.......more

Rambling on I gave this book only three stars because the author rambled on about the same thing. It felt like she didn't have too much else to say and needed to fill up pages.......more

Goodreads review by Andi on September 21, 2024

When I saw the title “Can’t Forgive” by Kim Goldman, I thought… “well that makes sense, how could she forgive O.J.? He killed her brother.” I have followed the case closely over the years and read most of the perspectives of the case. I thought this would be a different perspective. However, Kim was......more
