As seen in Sunday Times Style Magazine: 'Twisted tradwife lit is here'
Madison March is the perfect wife, with the perfect family and the perfect life. She spends her days baking sourdough and picking vegetables from the garden while watching her children play in the fields surrounding her Montana homestead. Dinner is always on the table for her husband, and they end their days sitting on the porch, watching the sun go down. It’s a life anyone would dream of.
And it’s all a lie.
