From the author of the acclaimed The Curiosity comes a compelling
and moving story of compassion, courage, and redemption. Deborah
Birch is a seasoned hospice nurse whose daily work requires courage
and compassion. But her skills and experience are tested in new and
dramatic ways when her easygoing husband, Michael, returns from his
third deployment to Iraq haunted by nightmares, anxiety, and rage.
She is determined to help him heal, and to restore the tender,
loving marriage they once had. At the same time, Deborah's primary
patient is Barclay Reed, a retired history professor and expert in
the Pacific Theater of World War II whose career ended in academic
scandal. Alone in the world, the embittered professor is dying. As
Barclay begrudgingly comes to trust Deborah, he tells her stories
from that long-ago war, which help her find a way to help her
husband battle his demons. Told with piercing empathy and
heartbreaking realism, The Hummingbird is a masterful story of
loving commitment, service to country, and absolution through
wisdom and forgiveness.
