Book Title: UNFORGIVEN
Character Name: Seth Zimmerman
How would you describe your family or your childhood?
I grew up Amish in the hollers of southwestern Kentucky. By all accounts, most would say it was idyllic.
What was your greatest talent?
Reinventing myself
Significant other?
I don’t have one. I have a crush on a divorced woman, though.
Biggest challenge in relationships?
Overcoming my past. I served time in prison.
Where do you live?
In Crittenden County, KY.
Do you have any enemies?
I reckon I do. There’s a list of people who don’t like the person I’ve become and would rather have me not exist.
Is there something you are particularly attached to, or particularly repelled by, in this place?
Even though most folks in my former life pretend I don’t exist, I still love my community. Even though I’m no longer living Plain, my heart still lies within the Amish community. Perhaps that’s why I can’t help doing things for Tabitha Yoder. By circumstances beyond her control, she’s no longer living Plain either.
Do you have children, pets, both, or neither?
I have nothing but a solid home and a lot of regrets and dreams.
What do you do for a living?
I’m a skilled carpenter.
Greatest disappointment?
That’s an easy one. For not trying harder to get a lawyer when Peter Miller’s death was placed on my shoulders.
Greatest source of joy?
So far, it’s been the day Tabitha stopped peeking at me through her window and walked out to say hello in the bright light of day.
What do you do to entertain yourself or have fun?
I walk, I read, and sometimes I fuss over my younger sister. She makes me laugh.
What is your greatest personal failing, in your view?
Learning to be hard and mean enough to survive in prison. Those skills are now a part of me.
What keeps you awake at night?
Tabitha. I’m sure her no-good ex-husband is going to come back to her, and she’ll be alone and defenseless.
What is the most pressing problem you have at the moment?
Currently, I’m trying to get Tabitha to speak to me more than once in a blue moon.
Is there something that you need or want that you don’t have? For yourself or for someone important to you?
Even though I have my family’s love, I yearn for their respect and understanding.
Why don’t you have it? What is in the way?
That answer is simple. Even though the Lord understands me and has given me grace, here on earth I’m still basically unforgiven.

Seth might be Tabitha's only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean he ends up behind bars once again.
