From Aztec princess to slave and concubine, Hummingbird - or Huitzitzil�n in her native Nahuatl - recounts her life during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. She experienced first-hand the wonder of gods' arrival--those bearded, armored men who descended from their vessels on horseback--and the brutal devastation of her land and her people. She witnessed the obliteration of Tenochtitl�n and suffered the loss of her identity, being forced to discard her traditional garb, to speak a language foreign to her tongue, and to forsake her ancestral gods.Expressing a confidence and freedom that women have strived for centuries to attain, Huitzitzil�n passionately relates her tale to Father Benito, the priest who seeks to confess and convert her, to offer her an absolution she neither needs nor wants. Instead, she forces him to see the conquest, for the first time, through the eyes of the conquered.In Song of the Hummingbird, Lim�n pays homage to the pre-Columbian woman, celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in the face of cataclysm and mourns our collective loss of treasures more valuable than all the plundered gold

Hummingbirds have long been a symbol of wisdom and courage. In this charming story, a hummingbird makes a valiant effort to put out a raging fire that threatens her forest home — trip after trip, her beak is filled each time with just a drop of water. Her efforts show her woodland companions that doing something — anything — is better than doing nothing at all. The hummingbird parable, which originates with the Quechuan people of South America, has become a talisman for environmentalists and activists worldwide committed to making meaningful change. This retelling, enlivened by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas’ fabulous Haida-manga illustrations, is suitable for all ages of would-be activists. Although environmental responsibility often seems like an overwhelming task, The Flight of the Hummingbird shows how easy it is to start and how great the effect could be if everyone just did what they could.

Sheriff O'Neill has been weaving a web of corruption around the tiny town for years, making many enemies along the way. He is hated, but also feared. They know that the man is capable of almost anything. But what they don't know would most definitely hurt them. Jennifer is one of O'Neill's deputies, and soon a victim of his evil. Jennifer's fiancé, Sean, had gathered evidence of O'Neill's practices and planned on going public with it. But Sean turns up murdered and the evidence is gone too. Jennifer naturally thinks that O'Neill destroyed it. Strangely though, O'Neill is feverishly trying to get his hands on it himself. Other stories of cruelty and greed accumulate as Jennifer meets more of O'Neill's victims. The past has not been kind to these women, and their experiences piece together with Jennifer's in unfortunate ways. Now all of them are trying to put an end to O'Neill in one way or another. Jennifer collects the evidence, but where does the evidence take her? Who else is guilty and of what? And can she bring forth justice in her way before someone else does in their way? The conclusions are stunning, as Jennifer learns just how far deceit can go.

"In Hummingbirds in The Trenches, Kondwani Fidel digests the circumstances of every day living in Baltimore. His honest recollection of growing up in his city--one plagued by poverty, inadequate schools, and violent murders--is a must read till the end. Fidel skillfully guides readers down a narrow line--his vulnerability on one side, his deafening power on the other. In the end, Fidel emerges a victor--overtly aware of the ironclad, historical systemic racism that continues to confine his community, yet still a hopeful, suggestive voice with a strong belief in change. His essays will make you cry tears of anger, but also tears of light-hearted laughter."--Stephanie Wash, Emmy Award Winning Producer and ABC News Journalist.

From a "born storyteller" (Seattle Times), this playful and moving bestselling book of essays invites us into the miraculous and transcendent moments of everyday life. When Brian Doyle passed away at the age of sixty after a bout with brain cancer, he left behind a cult-like following of devoted readers who regard his writing as one of the best-kept secrets of the twenty-first century. Doyle writes with a delightful sense of wonder about the sanctity of everyday things, and about love and connection in all their forms: spiritual love, brotherly love, romantic love, and even the love of a nine-foot sturgeon. At a moment when the world can sometimes feel darker than ever, Doyle's writing, which constantly evokes the humor and even bliss that life affords, is a balm. His essays manage to find, again and again, exquisite beauty in the quotidian, whether it's the awe of a child the first time she hears a river, or a husband's whiskers that a grieving widow misses seeing in her sink every morning. Through Doyle's eyes, nothing is dull. David James Duncan sums up Doyle's sensibilities best in his introduction to the collection: "Brian Doyle lived the pleasure of bearing daily witness to quiet glories hidden in people, places and creatures of little or no size, renown, or commercial value, and he brought inimitably playful or soaring or aching or heartfelt language to his tellings." A life's work, One Long River of Song invites readers to experience joy and wonder in ordinary moments that become, under Doyle's rapturous and exuberant gaze, extraordinary.
