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!

This book is an inspiration no matter where you are in life. If you have ever faced a disappoint, heartbreak, or uncertainty this book will show you can overcome it. Follow Your Detour will take you not only on Lindsay’s personal journey, but your own. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. I cried, laughed and was moved repeatedly as Lindsay details how her journey was taking turns she never could have imagine. God has a plan for all of us and through Lindsay’s story, he is showing us that we too can overcome heartache and disappointments and still come out on the other side stronger and better for the pain we have endured. I can’t recommend this book enough.

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.
