She Sold the Perfect Pioneer Life to Millions. Now She’s Living It—for Real.
In Yesteryear, debut author Caro Claire Burke delivers a bold, biting, and wildly addictive satirical thriller that’s already a GMA Book Club Pick and headed to the big screen with Anne Hathaway attached.
Natalie Heller Mills is the ultimate tradwife influencer. At Yesteryear Ranch in Idaho, she posts raw milk, farm-fresh eggs, barefoot kids, and a cowboy husband to her 8 million followers. Behind the scenes? Hidden modern appliances, nannies, and carefully staged perfection. Until one morning she wakes up cold, filthy, and terrified—in the brutal reality of 1855.
No electricity. No nannies. No escape. Her “perfect” family is suddenly strangers in a crumbling homestead, and every Instagram-filtered fantasy has become a life-or-death struggle. As Natalie fights to survive the very lifestyle she romanticized online, she must unravel whether this is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, a divine punishment… or something far more sinister.
Darkly funny, psychologically sharp, and impossible to put down, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed takedown of social media, tradwife culture, fame, faith, and the grand performance of modern womanhood.
Perfect for fans of The Push, Gone Girl, and The Last House Guest—or anyone who loves a satire that cuts deep while keeping you gasping and laughing.
