📚 New at the Library: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

What if the "good old days" weren't quite as good as they seem?

In this bestselling novel, social media influencer Natalie Mills has built a career celebrating a romanticized vision of the past. But when she suddenly finds herself transported to 1855, she discovers firsthand the realities behind the lifestyle she has been promoting. Clever, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, Yesteryear explores history, privilege, and the stories we tell ourselves about the past.

Place your hold today and see why readers everywhere are talking about Yesteryear!
