Factory, a novel published by Radial Books, 2017.
                      "Yost’s (Votives, 2017, etc.) prose is meditative, imbuing 
                       the milieu of the small city with existential weight. Lee is  
                      well-developed as a central character, sadly realistic about
                      her hometown (“Toledo never had anything to offer 
                      teenagers or college kids…they were the lost generation 
                      redone. In Toledo, we sought dark woods and abandoned 
                      alleys in which to get stoned or screwed, then faced the 
                      endless problem of what to do after burning the joint or 
                      buttoning the pants. Prospects were bleak for the 
                      unimaginative”)."   KIRKUS REVIEW

All That Is Behind Us Now, a novel. 

Cover image: Touching Me Softly, Anette Lusher, 2016.
Two ordinary people met and fell in love. After some hesitation and nearly a decade together, they married and moved across the country. In Seattle, Washington, they bought a house and a Subaru. All clouds were nines.
​
Sexy, smart, gregarious Liz approached Abby, who wandered art museums, managed a restaurant, and otherwise led a solitary life. Older, Abby found herself buoyed by Liz’s verve. Liz, for her part, desired Abby from the start and fell deeply for her solicitude.

A high school shooting dismantles their long years of predictability and security. Their attunement—their marriage—is tested as Liz convalesces and each tries to comprehend and move past the inexplicable.

All That Is Behind Us Now takes into rich account the unexpected tragedies that go on in the modern world. In Abby and Liz, we find two characters teeming with personality, passion, and perseverance.

Gertrude Tate lived with Alice Austen on Staten Island in the late 1800s, early 1900s. Given a camera at the age of eleven, Alice ​took over 8,000 photographs of life in Lower Manhattan and her immediate surroundings on Staten Island. Her acute artistic and social sensibilities sealed her passion for the art form. Gertrude was a dance instructor and devoted companion. The two women lived together for over fifty years until a fire forced them apart.   
Votives are imagined selections from ​Gertrude’s private daybooks.
