The quality of the choices we make determine the trajectory our lives will take. In Hindsight sounds like a book that reminds us to take account of our lives thus far. It is a pleasing to know that the sisters were able to heal after all the hurts and addiction. Excellent review.

That relative who is in a destructive path and is not ready to listen to anyone's advise; sounds familiar? It's a strenuous affair. Congrats to the author for such a nice narrative. Brilliant!

My favorite part of the book is Lisa's mum and her sister confronting her regarding her addiction and trying to help her out of it. That's what family should do.

Great review.

The sisters must have had a difficult childhood upbringing and I'm truly grateful for your thorough analysis in your review.

This book gives a different but interesting take on memoirs. Each sister tells the story from their perspective. Thanks for the insights and the recommendation.

This sounds like a beautifully written recollection of the lives of two sisters who took disparate paths. It seems very profound and reflective.

It’s incredible that the author can actually write a non fiction to sound like fiction... that’s actually really amazing

I feel like this is a book that people will actually benefit from after they read it, learn life lessons and learn from other peoples mistakes

That was a perfect review! It's very difficult to have someone in your life with addiction coping with them and trying to make them get rid of it. And if they're your family it gets harder. I hope to read this book.

Sounds like a great memoir, although I'm not sure if I'll enjoy reading it. It sounds a bit too gloomy for my taste but I'm sure other readers would appreciate it.

I like that this book focuses on family coming together. I’m sad the sisters went through so much, but this book is proof that they overcame it together.

I enjoyed this review. However, After reading the first few pages of this book it seems like it is a really good one. I love memoirs and I also have 2 sisters, so the content is perfect . It is interesting to see the extreme differences in the two . Theee are great lessons contained in this book and I’m hoping to read all of it

In Hindsight ~ is a Non-fictional Memoir Book which tells of how two sisters struggled through hurt, hindered, and healed each other. Their struggles. Lots of twists and turns.


Story of hope, family, and second chances. Exceptional edited. A great book to help other readers with similar circumstances.


~Thanks to the Author

Memoirs are a niche for me. Readers can surely learn so much from the lives of these two sisters.
