The Reviews:
When I was approached recently by author Cindy Callinsky to read
her autobiography Rear View Mirror, I had no idea the effects it
would have on me personally. Through lives lived, loves lost, and
challenges mastered, author Cindy Callinsky tackles the hardest
treasure of human life, struggle, and wins.

Rear View Mirror is Callinsky's first novel and you can certainly tell.
The untainted nature of the novel grabs you from the first sentences
and carries you graciously through the roller coaster ride of the
author's life. Some may find the clear grammatical deficiencies a
hindrance, but, I found them extremely endearing. Told in the first
person with real words in what I call "human speak", the author
allows the reader to embrace the characters as friends not simply
as written names on a page. Though this tactic may not have been
deliberate, it certainly adds to the novels appeal. Along with
grammatical genius comes fluid movement. I felt certain upon
beginning this novel to find transitional breaks and uncomfortable
chapter bridging. Contrary to my certainty, Callinsky rendered the
chronological events of the story with the talent of a seasoned
author. The read is smooth and unfaltering. Every idea cleanly
leads into the next line, paragraph, page and chapter. Superb!

Though autobiographical novels abound in the marketplace, I have
never been a great fan. After reading Rear View Mirror, I am truly
thankful Callinsky chose me. Rear View Mirror captured my
attention early on with great simplicity and coerced me to continue
reading for hours. When challenges were overcome, I cheered.
When tears were shed, I cried. When love was lost, I grabbed the
tissue box and settled in for a good ball! Callinsky's words wrapped
my heart with silken fingers and pulled me right along her road to
emotional freedom. With ease and grace, Rear View Mirror will
undoubtedly affect every reader in just this way. Whether you can
relate to the times, struggles or choices, this novel offers a
resemblance to "every woman's" life.

Cindy Callinsky may be a novice author, but you would never guess
by the talent represented within the innocence of Rear View Mirror.
She flawlessly captures the reader from the first pages and
carefully leads them through her struggle, hand in hand. It is with
great honesty I convey five out of five stars for Rear View Mirror. It
is with great pleasure I call the author a friend.

country shows her courage. Cindy has proved without a doubt that the special bond between
friends and family no matter the distance proves to be the foundation needed to keep going. Not

As I read this poignant tale I found myself in awe of the author’s ability to face adversity with such
resolution and humor. This is a truly moving account of one person’s struggle to persevere
through loss and heartbreak and find confidence and peace within.
Following the roller coaster ride of the author’s life, you’ll find yourself laughing and crying-
sometimes simultaneously. You’ll become the author’s biggest cheerleader and you’ll look
within yourself with hope that you can find that same inner strength and peace that has carried
her so far in life.
