Driving in Reverse: The Life I Almost Missed
by Lindsay Wincherauk

One day while driving a suicidal contractor to work, Lindsay realized that his story was important. Thus, began the long arduous journey to arrive to this book. The efforts were well worth it. This book is inspiring and occasionally hilarious. The author leaves nothing hidden. His telling of his life story is candid and transparent. 

Lindsay knows loss. He worked two jobs like most people. When he thought he had gained a momentous break, he was hit with a big blow. Something that would upturn his life. A shock that would also explain a few incidences in retrospect. He survived through all of it. The end is a happy one. He is alive and well. He overcame. This is a tale of strength despite thorns pressed into the flesh. 

The author’s style of writing is a bit unique. He does not follow a traditional structure. His writing pretty much mimics his thought processes, which is an interesting experience to be a part of. His writing is colored with emotion and intricacy. Everything from the style to the structure are specific to him. His highlight of characters that might seem mundane is special, as the reader will realize the importance of this later. 

You will laugh out loud. You will cry. This book will not leave you alone even after you have finished reading. It will always nag at you. You will find yourself mentally referring to the lessons therein. The fact that Lindsay Wincherauk is brave enough to share is triumph. The hard work that went into writing this book is evident in nuances and resulting literary experience. Five stars for ‘Driving in Reverse’.
