This book is about a popular "tradwife" influencer, Natalie Heller Mills, who wakes up in 1855, forced to confront the harsh reality of the pioneer life she romanticized online. And this authentic 19th-century version of her homestead is brutal. The book explores themes of tradition, fame, and the performance of womanhood through the eyes of Natalie, its narcissistic but compelling protagonist, as she navigates a world that is both a nightmarish reality and a potential hoax or reality show. It's a critique of modern online culture.
This is considered a major book of 2026 and has been picked as a Good Morning America Book Club selection. Jodi Picoult is my favorite novelist, so I plan to read this book, even though 400 pages is more than I like in a book.
