Summary
When an agoraphobic man develops a relationship with a vivacious grocery delivery woman, the order he prescribes to his apartment, and his world, begins to crumble around him.
Wesley Yorstead Goes Outside explores the life of Wesley Yorstead, a 33-year-old graphic novelist who suffers from a severe case of agoraphobia that has kept him shut inside for over five years. When he meets Happy Lafferty for the first time, delivering groceries on behalf of her father’s neighborhood market, Wesley can’t shake the inherent magnetism between them and seeks to get to know this young woman who invades his space - both physical and mental. As their relationship grows more intimate, the restrictions of his situation become an even greater obstacle. When Happy’s past life catches up to her, Wesley must decide if he can finally leave his apartment to help.
A meditation on anxiety, fear, and human connection, Wesley Yorstead Goes Outside asks the listener to consider what our fears take away from our lives, and how we might overcome them.
Critic reviews
“Stephanie Harper's debut novel, featuring 33-year-old Wesley Yorstead, is perfect for these pandemic times. Wesley suffers from agoraphobia, and listeners are invited inside his mind as he navigates his self-imposed isolation. Narrator Brian Holden gives Wesley a range of voices as he shares his routines, slowly revealing the event five years earlier that triggered the unexpected disruption to his life.” (AudioFile Magazine)
