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.

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!

Captivating, Compelling & Courageous

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.

Talk about resilience

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.
