Smacked: A Story of White-Collar Ambition, Addiction, and Tragedy is a memoir by journalist Eilene Zimmerman that examines the hidden drug addiction of her ex-husband, a successful Silicon Valley lawyer, and the devastating consequences that followed his death. The book blends personal memoir, investigative reporting, and social analysis to show how addiction can remain concealed inside high-achieving, professionally respected lives. Rather than focusing only on the author's grief, it also widens into a study of white-collar substance use, workplace pressure, family denial, and the difficulty of recognizing serious illness when outward success masks private collapse. Zimmerman uses her training as a journalist to reconstruct what happened, while also writing as a mother and former spouse trying to make sense of loss. The result is a memoir that is both intimate and analytical, offering readers a clearer view of addiction in affluent professional communities.
