The story
 

England, 2026. Jason is nearing the end of a life shaped by caution and regret. Although music and the piano were always his deepest passions, he never dared to follow that path. He worked for decades as a dockworker and is left wondering what his life might have become if he had made a different choice.

Then the unimaginable happens. After his death, Jason awakens in 1959 as a young man, with his memories and knowledge of the future intact. Given an extraordinary second chance, he leaves Southampton and heads for Liverpool, determined to become a musician.

There he meets a group of young men whose names mean nothing to the wider world: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and the friends and musicians around them. Jason enters their circle, shares in their development, and watches the foundations of the Beatles take shape.

But his knowledge of the future carries a responsibility no one else can understand. He knows which triumphs await them, but he also knows the losses and tragedies ahead. Should he interfere? Could he save the people who have become important to him without changing the music and history known by millions? Or is his true second chance not about reshaping the world, but about finally living his own life?

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow is a work of fiction about friendship, love, ambition, regret, and the enduring hope that it is never too late to choose a different path.
