From the author of the acclaimed The Interest comes a powerful and moving story of compassion, courage, and redemption. Deborah Birch is a practiced hospice nurse whose daily work requires courage and compassion. But her skills and experience are tested in new and dramatic ways when her easygoing hubby, Michael, comes back from his third deployment to Iraq haunted by nightmares, panic, and rage. She actually is determined to help him mend and to regain the tender, adoring relationship they once had. At exactly the same time, Deborah's most important patient is Barclay Reed, a retired background professor and expert in the Pacific Theater of World Battle II whose job ended in educational scandal. Alone on the globe, the embittered professor is dying. As Barclay begrudgingly comes to trust Deborah, he explains to her tales from that long-ago war, which help her find a way to help her hubby struggle his demons. Told with piercing empathy and heartbreaking realism, The Hummingbird is a masterful story of loving commitment, service to country, and absolution through knowledge and forgiveness.
