Spirit of a Hummingbird: Memories from a Childhood on the Run

Felicia Thai Heath
4.39/5 (60 ratings)
INSTANT Amazon Best Seller in Survival Biographies, in Emigration & Immigration Studies (Books), Asian American History, and in Poverty Studies

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.
