Unveiling Hidden America: Lauren Hough’s Journey into the Heart of Modern Monsters

Lauren Hough’s Monster of a Land: On the Road in Search of Modern America (Pantheon; June 2026) takes the same dare, pointing a refurbished, ramshackle 2001 Dodge van away from Austin and onto the open road. Her husky mix Woody rides shotgun as both companion and accomplice, the whole trip conceived in the long shadow of Travels with Charley.
