Description
In this sharp and satirical debut, a modern-day "tradwife" influencer is thrust back in time to an 1855 homestead, where her curated online persona crumbles against an inescapable, harsh reality. As she navigates the profound disconnect between her digital ideals and the visceral demands of survival, the novel unflinchingly dissects the dark undercurrents of pronatalist ideologies and the ethical quagmire of social media's impact on children. Burke masterfully blends biting humor with poignant emotional resonance, particularly in the unsettling interactions between the protagonist and her children, forcing readers to confront uncomfortable truths about societal pressures and the devastating consequences of narcissistic pursuits.
