In Yesteryear, Caro Claire Burke turns the fantasy of a perfect traditional life into a chilling psychological trap. Natalie Heller Mills is a famous tradwife influencer who sells her followers an image of wholesome farm life, obedient children, homemade bread, and Christian domestic bliss. But behind the camera, her world is staged, controlled, and quietly collapsing.
When Natalie wakes up in what appears to be an 1855 version of her Idaho ranch, the life she once romanticized becomes brutally real. No phones, no help, no comfort, and no escape. As she struggles through hunger, violence, motherhood, and madness, the line between time travel, punishment, performance, and delusion begins to blur.
Dark, sharp, and unsettling, Yesteryear explores the danger of building a life around appearances—and what happens when the fantasy finally turns against its creator.
