"A bold and biting satire, Yesteryear…will have you cackling and gasping right to the final page." —Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive. Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalie’s followers—all 8 million of them—don’t know won’t hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They’re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn’t simply living the good life, she’s living the ideal—and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn’t hers. Her home, her husband, her children—they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she’s expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible. A gripping, electrifying 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. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/rapid-city/monarch-book-club-yesteryear/200030425844120 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 29 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Rapid City - **state**: SD - **country**: United States - **location**: 631 Main Street, Rapid City, SD, United States, South Dakota 57701 - **lat**: 44.0812 - **long**: -103.22867 - **full address**: 631 Main Street, Rapid City, SD, United States, South Dakota 57701 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Monarch Book Club: Yesteryear - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/08a3d158c14e0ad4cb66e016cefe525dd319c68501221574bdf30f235a42813b-rimg-w1065-h599-dc181818-gmir?v=1786134912 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Monarch Book Club: Yesteryear being held? - **A:** Monarch Book Club: Yesteryear takes place on Wed, 12 Aug, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Wed, 12 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm at 631 Main Street, Rapid City, SD, United States, South Dakota 57701. - **Q**: Who is organizing Monarch Book Club: Yesteryear? - **A:** Monarch Book Club: Yesteryear is organized by Monarch Books and Boutique. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
