"Her 2004 memoir, A Rip in Heaven, focuses on the attempted murder of her brother, Tom, and the murder of two of her cousins on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1991, when Cummins was 16.[1] She declined offers for film rights to the book.[9] She has said that her cousin Julie's death specifically inspired her to become a writer, as Julie had been 'a really gifted writer' and Cummins's role model growing up, and Cummins felt a sense of responsibility to carry on her legacy.[9]"
