Natalie Heller Mills is the quintessential traditional American woman: wife, mother of six, and queen of social media, where millions of followers are captivated by her idyllic, pioneer-style "tradwife" life on a charmingly rustic ranch. Behind the scenes, however, there are nannies, producers, industrial appliances, and a husband who is the heir to a powerful political dynasty. But Natalie doesn't care as long as her empire keeps growing and the "Angry Women" keep hating her from afar. Until one morning she wakes up to a reality she doesn't recognize. Her house, her husband, and her children are there, but everything is different: there's no electricity, the kitchen is heated with firewood, the children are dirty, and her once useless husband is now a competent farmer. On the door, a date is carved: 1855. Yesterday she was posing jars of jam for Instagram; today she hauls firewood and washes clothes by hand until they bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Has she traveled through time? Is God testing her? Satan? When she suffers a brutal wound in the forest, she understands two things: this is not the life she had, and she must find a way to escape.
