\nNatalie lives a trad itional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic\, her husband a handso me cowboy\, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what i f there are nannies and producers behind the scenes\, her kitchen hiding i ndustrial-grade fridges and ovens\, her husband the Republican equivalent of a Kennedy? What Natalie's followers - all 8 million of them - don't kno w won't hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged\, Ivy League\, coas tal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They're sick wit h jealousy. Because Natalie isn't simply living the good life\, she's livi ng the ideal - and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn't hers. Her home\, her husban d\, her children - they're all familiar\, but something's off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity\, her children are dirty and strange\, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent f armer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram\, and now she's expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes u ntil her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a brutal real ity show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By S atan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods\, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life\, and she must escape by any means possible. A gripping\, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it i s frightening\, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition\, fame\, fai th\, and the grand performance of womanhood.
