Yesterday I Could Sing is the story of one man’s struggle against time to prove to an insensitive system, that if given the chance, he still maintains the capabilities that once marked a celebrated career that spanned more than twenty years. Virgil Henderson is a sixty-three-year-old juvenile probation officer who reluctantly faces the twilight of an illustrious career and refuses to become a 'lame duck' while social security catches up to him in a couple of years. Unfortunately, everything around him signals the end of the line including his dearest friend and fellow officer, Alfred P. Noonin who welcomes the opportunity to spend the remaining years of his life in retirement bliss.Married to his work, Virgil will have no part of it and hopes for the fortune of just one more significant case to solidify his claim as still the best damn probation officer that Eldon County has ever seen. Perhaps the likes of Guillermo 'Red' Fuentes is such a case. Meanwhile, a political faction is developing and a conspiracy brewing that finds him right smack in the middle as an unwitting pawn in a race where two separate motivations are on a direct collision course.Set against the backdrop of conspiracy, calamity, violence, betrayal, and love, Yesterday I Could Sing is about the human condition - a story of ordinary people cast in extraordinary situations and a man’s search for absolution that ultimately leads him to the discovery of his salvation.
