BY: Caro Claire Burke

  • #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

  • A GMA BOOK CLUB PICK

  • A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR.

 

Caro Claire Burke’s debut novel Yesteryear (2026) is a psychological thriller and social satire that explores the curated world of influencer culture. The story follows Natalie Heller Mills, a successful Christian “tradwife” influencer who has built a lucrative brand on a romanticized vision of domestic, pastoral life.

​

After her world is upended by a public scandal, Natalie inexplicably wakes up in the year 1855, where she is held captive by a brutal, archaic version of her own family and forced to confront the harsh reality of the pioneer life she once sold as an aesthetic.
