Felicia Thai Heath
Acerca de esta escucha
In Spirit of a Hummingbird, Felicia Thai Heath, the daughter of Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants who met in the United States, gives us a disquieting, eventful memoir based on her early childhood on the run with her father—a notorious Vietnamese kingpin and escaped convict—and her conflicted mother. Clever and mature beyond her age, young Felicia experienced poverty and witnessed abuse as her dysfunctional family bounced around in the United States and Canada. Amid all the tumult and terror, she found ways to love her family, educate herself, navigate her world, and discover her potential. Now she must decide how to live with the past—and whether her future can include her father.
Spirit of a Hummingbird is an uncompromising look at family trauma, betrayal, fear, and helplessness and an inspiring testament to resilience, healing, and forgiveness.

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

October 22, 1844: "Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" - Not a soul wanders the streets. Businesses are boarded up. Farms have been sold. For the people of Calvary—and hundreds of thousands more across the country—the end is near. Led by the apocalyptic prophecy of Reverend William Miller, the believers have spent the year preparing for Jesus Christ to return at sundown and bring about the rapture. All of his predictions have thus far come to pass, infallible as the Bible itself.

As a teenager, Kristin Berry had heard all the horror stories surrounding foster care and adoption - abuse, neglect, rejection, anger, and misunderstandings. But instead of closing her heart, God opened it wide. This is Kristin's honest, unvarnished story of some of her experiences as a foster parent of 23 children over the course of nine years. What she learned is that living in a foster home is like living with a revolving door. You never know who will arrive or who you will have to say goodbye to. Leaving the door open means there will be heartache and pain, but also adventure and unexpected joy.

Born and raised in a small Oregon town, all-American girl Rebecca Bender was a varsity athlete and honor-roll student with a promising future. Then a predator pretending to be her boyfriend lured her into a web of lies that sent her down a path she never imagined possible. For nearly six years, Rebecca was sold across the underground world of sex trafficking in Las Vegas. She was branded, beaten, told when to sleep and what to wear, and traded between traffickers. During that time, God began revealing himself to her.

The stories people tell—all those legends they whisper at school—they don’t mean a thing. Only my mother and younger brother matter to me.

Captivating, Compelling & Courageous
I finished this audio book in 1 day! I couldn’t stop listening. It is a real emotional roller coaster & does need a trigger warning for anyone with abuse/neglect/ trauma history this book may bring back the emotions of those events because of how descriptive this story is I felt like I was living it myself. Very vividly told. The author is truly an amazing person having overcome so much and done the inner work necessary to move forward in a healthy way. Admirable the ability to be vulnerable as I feel anyone who reads this will have many life lessons and reminders. A must read!

Talk about resilience
The first reason that I wanted to read this book is that I attended undergrad with Felicia and was excited to support her book. Once I started reading the book, I realized that I knew nothing about her life outside of JMU. Her life was so intense and I can't believe she kept it all hidden so well. It's truly amazing to see how she was able to thrive and build a life of her own, considering how adverse her beginnings were. Most people would have never been able to escape a childhood like hers, let achieve all her goals. Truly an inspiring story.

Captivating Story
Looking for a captivating and immersive listen that keeps you engaged from start to finish, "Spirit of the Hummingbird" is the perfect choice. From the moment I pressed play, I was enthralled and couldn't stop listening to it until I reached the very last page. The story unfolds with such cinematic flair that it feels like you're experiencing a blockbuster film rather than simply reading words on a page. I was completely absorbed by her journey and found myself emotionally invested in every twist and turn.
