To this day she is stopped on the street and hailed as a beacon of empowerment by women who felt badly for not conforming to a narrow set of societal norms—thin, straight, compliant. But behind the scenes, Lindy never felt like she was the self-actualized woman fans made her out to be. When she found herself in the throes of a deep depression, with her marriage and sense of self-worth hanging in the balance, she knew she needed to make a change.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In ADULT BRACES, Lindy shares the story of her rock bottom, and of the solo cross-country road trip she took to claw her way out of it. With her trademark candor and sense of humor, she examines her post-\u003ci\u003eShrill\u003c\/i\u003e emotional implosion, her shifting feelings about traditional marriage, and her search for her long-lost self. She also tracks the highs and lows of her journey, from eye-opening natural wonders and kitschy roadside attractions to lackluster tourist traps and campground epiphanies. The result is an engaging and laugh-out-loud narrative of becoming as Lindy transforms from a passenger into the active navigator of her own life.","brand":"Lindy West","offers":[{"title":"Grand Central Publishing |  Hardback  |  2026-03-10","offer_id":47343158624511,"sku":"9780306831836","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ca8d3501-5ac5-4903-be74-fee456fa0d3b.jpg?v=1760116350","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780306831836","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
