<description><p>My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive.
</p><p>
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&#039;s followers--all 8 million of them--don&#039;t know won&#039;t hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They&#039;re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn&#039;t simply living the good life, she&#039;s living the ideal--and just so happens to be building an empire from it.
</p><p>
Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn&#039;t hers. Her home, her husband, her children--they&#039;re all familiar, but something&#039;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&#039;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.
</p><p>
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. </p></description>

<link>http://www.MyListens.com/viewbook.php?id=3118</link>
<description><p>1990. In the myth-riddled woods of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, sixteen-year-old Annabelle Riley&#039;s twin sister, Sabrina, has been having an affair with a mysterious older man, and Annabelle is determined to uncover what&#039;s going on. Then, inexplicably, both sisters disappear.
</p><p>
In this same town years later, newly instated police chief Callie Hauser makes an arrest that unexpectedly resurrects details from a heartbreaking cold case. As she digs deeper, the past and the present collide, challenging everything Callie believes about right and wrong, who she is, and the town she&#039;s always called home.
</p><p>
A propulsive mystery as incisive as it is forgiving, Heather bears a visceral reminder that the truth of a woman&#039;s life is often complicated and unknowable--to those on the outside, and sometimes even to herself. </p></description>

<description><p>Every family has secrets, but when Reece visits his parents&#039; house, he&#039;s shocked to find them in bed, dead. At first glance it looks like a murder-suicide perpetrated by his father, but on closer inspection there&#039;s clearly more to the story. For starters, inconsistencies in the crime scene suggest his dad may not have shot himself.
</p><p>
As Reece, shaken by his horrifying discovery, awaits questioning from the police, his phone lights up with a call. It&#039;s the last person he ever would have expected to hear from.
</p><p>
Reeling from the day&#039;s events, Reece finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about his parents--and whether he and his own family are in danger now. While the authorities work to untangle the baffling crime scene, Reece is pulled into a web of secrets linked to the unscrupulous pharma company his father worked for years ago.
</p><p>
In order to protect the people he loves most, he&#039;ll have to dig deep into his own past to understand who his parents were, what they did, and who they hurt--before he ends up paying for their sins. </p></description>

<title>The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker</title>
<link>http://www.MyListens.com/viewbook.php?id=3119</link>
<description><p>One night in an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a first-year student stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep--and doesn&#039;t wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. When a second girl falls asleep, and then a third, Mei finds herself thrust together with an eccentric classmate as panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. A young couple tries to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. Two sisters turn to each other for comfort as their survivalist father prepares for disaster.
</p><p>
Those affected by the illness, doctors discover, are displaying unusual levels of brain activity, higher than has ever been recorded before. They are dreaming heightened dreams--but of what?
</p><p>
Written in luminous prose, The Dreamers is a breathtaking and beautiful novel, startling and provocative, about the possibilities contained within a human life--if only we are awakened to them. </p></description>

<title>Everything We Didn&#039;t Say by Nicole Baart</title>
<link>http://www.MyListens.com/viewbook.php?id=3117</link>
<description><p>Juniper Baker had just graduated from high school and was deep in the throes of a summer romance when Cal and Beth Murphy, a childless couple who lived on a neighboring farm, were brutally murdered. When her younger brother became the prime suspect, June&#039;s world collapsed and everything she loved that summer fell away. She left, promising never to return to tiny Jericho, Iowa.
</p><p>
Until now. Officially, she&#039;s back in town to help an ill friend manage the local library. But really, she&#039;s returned to repair her relationship with her teenage daughter, who&#039;s been raised by Juniper&#039;s mother and stepfather since birth--and to solve the infamous Murphy murders once and for all. She knows the key to both lies in the darkest secret of that long-ago summer night, one that&#039;s haunted her for nearly fifteen years.
</p><p>
As history begins to repeat itself and a dogged local true crime podcaster starts delving into the murders, the race to the truth puts past and present on a dangerous collision course. Juniper lands back in an all-too-familiar place with the answers to everything finally in her sights, but this time it&#039;s her daughter&#039;s life that hangs in the balance. Will revealing what really happened mean a fresh start? Or will the truth destroy everything Juniper loves for a second time? </p></description>
