March 5, 2027 at 12:00 PM — Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
What happens when the tradwife fantasy becomes reality? In Caro Claire Burke’s provocative debut, Natalie is a wildly successful Instagram tradwife influencer who has built a massive following by celebrating an idealized vision of traditional marriage, motherhood, Christian values, and old-fashioned domestic life. Then she wakes up in 1855—where the pioneer existence she has romanticized online is suddenly very real, and there are no modern conveniences to soften it. As Natalie struggles to understand whether she has actually traveled through time, Yesteryear turns the glossy tradwife aesthetic on its head, exploring ambition, motherhood, social media performance, religion, and the complicated gap between nostalgia for the past and the reality of living it.
