A Woman of Interest; A Memoir in Letters

by Cindy Zimmerman

In heartfelt letters to her friend, Hollywood Legend Ken Rotcop, Cindy Zimmermann writes her true-life memoirs of a seemingly perfect life torn to shreds. She shares her public and private turmoil as she became the target of one allegation after another, year after year as she struggled to maintain and reconstruct her life--a life shattered through murder, divorce, estate disputes and her family torn apart. Cindy shares her letters as a thank-you note to her family, friends, and the professionals who helped her. Additionally important to her is the opportunity to share with her readers what she has come to learn: whether used for good or evil, never underestimate the power of the handwritten word.

I probably shouldn’t rate this because I didn’t finish. I finally decided to move it to my “abandoned” shelf because I don’t see myself picking this back up again. There are too many other good books I want to read and have so little time to do it. But who knows, maybe I’ll get back to it at some time

To be fair, the author is not a writer. The suggestion she received was to just write her story in letters. She took that a little too literally. That format made little sense the way it was done.

This is the memoir of a local Scottsdale woman whose husband was murdered, and his body was discovered on the day of their divorce. Cindy became a person of interest. Family members were not supportive. Sounds like the makings of a good story.

The beginning of the book needed more bang. Yes, the bare facts of the murder were listed in a very clinical way. But I needed something to pull me in and tell me why I should be interested in this woman’s life. The following chapters detailed Cindy’s past relationships, etc. I found myself wondering why I should care.

I didn’t get into the meat of what happened. Maybe it got better. It just didn’t capture my interest.

An excellent book. Ll written. This is the true heartbreaking story of a life turned over and how the author survived it all.
