Review: Driving in Reverse. The Life I almost missed by Lindsay Wincherauk

Author Lindsey Wincherauk is down on his luck and headed for a midlife collapse. Working two dismal jobs to play his trendy Yorktown rent, grieving the sudden loss of two friends and family members, and his dumped by the love of his life, Lindsey looks for the buddy Dave. By a twist of fate. his life turns completely upside down when he attempts to renew his passport and discovers he is the main character in a dark family secret. Reeling from the shock, Lindsay grabs his bags and blasts through 11 countries in 31 days.

Wincherauk's story moves at breakneck speed as the author describes his flight through pain and madness spinning into surreal side trips, where he meets an inferno of wild characters. He comes precariously close to self-destruction and knows that until the hidden pieces of his life are uncovered something would be missing.

I was blown away by his story. If you are looking for a traditional biography you will be disappointed. He is far from a traditional biography writer, he writes from his soul which bring you closer not just to his characters but himself,  which takes you on a range of emotional ups and downs from his sad childhood to his heartbreaks of adulthood. I found his unique story resonated with me, I may not walk his path but the depth of his sorrow throughout his life when dealing with the Big C, family lies, and deaths. This is one biography that should not be missed.
