"""This book has inspired me on so many levels. I laughed and cried, and ultimately was left inspired. It's not often that a book truly reaches my soul and somehow this book does. Not only does this book captivate you from the start, it keeps getting better and better with every page. I found myself wanting, NEEDING to know what happens next. Weaved through the entire story is messages of hope and inspiration that make this book a step above the rest. This book will encourage you, especially if you are experiencing a life ""detour"". My husband and I recently had a major career shift, and this book has encouraged me and lifted me up. It has reminded me that life is a journey, and to enjoy the unexpected twists and turns. I recommend this book a million times over!"" ""I absolutely fell in love with this book and read the whole thing straight through - I couldn't put it down! Lindsay's storytelling ability is amazing; I found myself crying, laughing and nodding in agreement to what she said over and over again. Not only does Lindsay's book take us through her detours in life, but she also includes ""Your Turn"" sections throughout the book with tips on how to apply her learnings in our own lives. I loved this part! It really made me think about the struggles I am going through and helped me to see things through a more positive lens. I also appreciate how real she is - acknowledging all the unfair and heartbreaking things that can (and probably will) happen in our lives and guiding us on how to get through them with the Detour Mindset at the end of the book. I can't say enough wonderful things about this book and I highly recommend it to anyone no matter what stage of life you're in!"" ""I am delighted and incredibly moved by this book. I am in awe of this woman's story and her ability to write it in such an engaging, compassionate, and very aware way. I've read a number of self-help books and personal-story books over the years, and this one is very special. It's engaging, motivating, and funny--even though this woman is sharing incredible pain and vulnerability. I found her revelations real and honest--so much so that I was able to tap into that vulnerable part of myself (that I don't even want to deal with) and find a strength to even toy with the idea of something new, of following my detour (instead of wallowing in my disappointment). This is a book that will pierce you in your heart--and it's awesome. Engaging and entertaining--big smiles on my face, tears welling in my eyes, feeling surprised, engulfed with sympathy, compassion, and at the same time feeling to myself: there are possibilities for me, so many, and I just haven't been seeing them. Wow. Powerful."""
