Synopsis
Kate Banner is a North American midwife helping flood victims in Nicaragua in the 1980s. When she loses another patient-a young woman who gave birth only the night before in the bottom of a swamped wooden boat-Kate knows it is time to go home. But her journey home leads her first into the seething secret wars of Guatemala, where she discovers her greatest challenges, and her greatest chances to love.

From the Inside Flap
"Patricia Henley's novel takes us into the life of one American woman who becomes part of a community where trust is as vital as bread and just as rare. With deliberate craft and enormous compassion, Henley shows us how one exhausted woman exchanges numbness for resolution, and then chooses-to witness, to act, and to love regardless of what is lost." --Citation for the National Book Award, 1999 "Kate's tale rings true in her realistic conclusion that gross injustice calls for more than merely sorrow, but also rage, sacrifice and the ability to simultaneously love and lose." --Publisher's Weekly "It is impossible to read Hummingbird House...without thinking of Hemingway; and, with due respect for his mastery of the craft, thinking less well of him." --Indianapolis Star "Henley is a gifted writer with a poignant and important story to tell." --Rocky Mountain News "Deeply felt...a heartbreaking book." --John Sayles
