Description

The story of one girl’s quest for clarity and forgiveness after an awful, universe-gone-mad-mistake. From the internationally bestselling author of Girl in Pieces

‘Breathtaking and heartbreaking, and I loved it with all my heart.’ Jennifer Niven

I thought I was done with death, at least a little bit, but death wasn’t done with me. 

It’s always been Tiger and her mother against the world. Then, on a day like any other, Tiger’s mother dies. Now it’s Tiger, alone.

And she must learn to make friends with the dark.

‘A rare and powerful novel…dives deep into the heart of grief and healing with honesty, empathy, and grace.’ Karen M. McManus

‘Magnificent. A beautiful, heartbreaking alleluia to survival.’ Brendan Kiely

When the bookseller matches the book cover...💛

If you've built an online following as a 'Trad Wife' who lives and lectures your followers on 'the true American family dream', waking up on a homestead 1800s should be a walk in the park, right? 
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke is like if The Handmaid's Tale, Kindred, and The Stepford Wives had a literary baby. It will horrify, it will entrance, it will unsettle. 🐄
