Natalie Heller Mills has it made. She is a popular media influencer who expounds on the joys of being a traditional wife and mother. She portrays her life as having beautiful obedient children and a loving husband working hard on their self sustaining ranch. Is this really what life is like on Yesteryear Ranch? Why has Natalie’s life turned upside down when she wakes up one morning and finds it is 1805 and she must endure the life she has mistakenly glorified?

Caro Claire Burke’s debut novel is a page turner. One wants to find out how Natalie ended up in the year 1805. Yesteryear bounces back and forth from Natalie’s early life, to the present to 1805. Also, for readers who want an empathetic, heroic main character, that would not be Natalie!
