Yesterday Is History

By: Kosoko Jackson

Andre Cobb is ready for his life to finally begin. Weeks ago he received a much-needed liver transplant and now he can focus on his future. Except one night he starts to feel shaky and ill, passes out, and wakes up somewhere totally unexpected...the past.

Apparently, Andre's new liver came with a side effect, specifically of the time travel variety. His new ability transports him to 1969 where he connects with a boy named Michael. And then just as suddenly as he arrived, he slips through time to present-day—where the family of his liver donor is waiting to explain the ins and outs of time travel. They task their youngest son, Blake, with teaching Andre how to use his unexpected gift.

Andre splits his time bouncing between Michael and Blake. Michael is everything Andre wishes he could be and Blake, still reeling from the death of his brother, Andre's donor, keeps him at arm's length, despite their obvious attraction to one another.

Torn between two boys, one in the past and one in the present, Andre has to figure out where he belongs, and more importantly, who he wants to be, before the consequences of jumping in time catch up to him and change his future for good.
