Join us for our Summer Sizzle 2026 Open Book Club, to discuss Yesteryear, by Caro Claire Burke.

A traditional American woman, a beautiful wife and mother who sells her pioneer lifestyle of raw milk and farm-fresh eggs to her millions of social media followers, suddenly awakens cold, filthy, and terrified in the brutal reality of 1855—where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister. A gripping, electrifying debut novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.

Library copies of the book will be provided to program registrants; staff will contact you to arrange pick-up.

Ideal for ages 18+.
