YESTERYEAR

"A brilliant, razor-sharp psychological thriller that dissects the curated vanity of social media and the dark trap of competitive domesticity."
What happens when the perfect life you built for Instagram becomes the very cage that buries your sanity?
In this haunting debut novel, Caro Claire Burken drags readers into the suffocating heart of Yesteryear Ranch—an isolated simulated frontier deep in the Idaho wilderness. Natalie Heller Mills, a woman who built an empire on traditionalist perfection, wakes up to find her modern life completely erased. Stripped of her technology and cuffed to a drafty stove, she is forced to perform as a submissive pioneer wife under the watchful, clinical eyes of her own children.
