Overview

A poignant and humorous exploration of body image, self-acceptance, and the power of human connection, set in the intimate world of a lingerie department.

For more than a decade, Natalee Woods fitted women for bras in a high-end department store, never imagining how much the experience would change her—and her relationship with her own body. In Full Support, she shares the raw, honest narratives from inside the dressing room, where women bravely face their fears and insecurities, commanding time and space without even realizing it. From an eighty-six-year-old Gladys to a transgender woman disowned by her father, these stories reveal the dangers that exist within a culture that continues to cast shadows over our humanity.

Woods invites readers to question socially conditioned ideals and discover their own worth, as well as the dangers that exist within a culture that continues to cast shadows over our humanity. What can happen when we let another human being in far enough to teach us something about ourselves?
