Me llamo Natalie Heller Mills y era perfecta en el arte de vivir.Natalie Heller Mills es la perfecta mujer americana tradicional: esposa, madre de seis hijos y reina de las redes sociales, donde millones de seguidores consumen fascinados su idilica vida de "tradwife" al estilo pionero en un rancho de encanto rustico. Detras de las camaras, sin embargo, hay niñeras, productores, electrodomesticos industriales y un marido heredero de una poderosa dinastia politica. Pero a Natalie no le importa mientras su imperio siga creciendo y las "Mujeres Enfadadas" sigan odiandola desde la distancia.Hasta que una mañana despierta en una realidad que no reconoce. Su casa, su marido y sus hijos estan ahi, pero todo es distinto: no hay electricidad, la cocina se calienta con leña, los niños estan sucios y su marido, antes inutil, es ahora un granjero competente. En la puerta, una fecha tallada: 1855. Ayer posaba tarros de mermelada para Instagram; hoy arrastra leña y lava ropa a mano hasta hacerse sangre. ¿Se ha convertido en la protagonista involuntaria de un despiadado reality show? ¿Ha viajado en el tiempo? ¿Esta Dios poniendola a prueba? ¿Satanas? Cuando se hace una brutal herida en el bosque, comprende dos cosas: esta no es la vida que tenia y debe encontrar la manera de escapar.
