About This Book
Yesteryear captivates readers with a gripping tale of a traditional American woman's sudden plunge into a nightmarish reality of 1855. Natalie Heller Mills, a seemingly perfect wife and mother who basks in the glow of her idyllic life and millions of social media followers, faces a harrowing upheaval that blurs the lines between modernity and the past.
As Natalie wakes up to a harsh New England farmhouse, she struggles against the unsettling truth of her altered existence. Stripped of her comforts, she confronts the twisted possibility of being trapped in a savage reality show or worse—serving a grand design by unseen forces. When a brutal injury forces her to reckon with her new life, Natalie must fight to reclaim her freedom and unravel the dark chaos surrounding her.
A #1 international bestseller and celebrated GMA Book Club Pick, Yesteryear invites readers to explore themes of tradition, fame, and the performance of womanhood, blending dark humor with a chilling narrative that resonates deeply in today's world.
