Faith-based and refreshingly sincere, Hope: Lessons from a Hummingbird by William Cuccia goes beyond Christianity to look at how humanity holds herself in dark times and how each of us is responsible to the whole of mankind. As tender, ironic, and resounding as a message can be, this autobiographical journey is a phenomenal example of how the smallest bit of light can make all the difference, and how a frail hummingbird spiritually transforms a man.

As Emily Dickinson once so wisely wrote, “Hope is a thing with wings…” No truer are those words than for the lessons and life instructions the author learns from an injured hummingbird that his wife rescues. Over the course of eight days, the couple cares for this hummingbird they prophetically name Hope. As Hope convalesces and makes giant strides to wellness and inevitable freedom, the author wrestles with dark memories, depression, and hurtful actions that jeopardized his marriage and his faith. With a fair amount of humor and perfectly pitched prose, this incredibly personal journey that is wrought with human flaws, self-inflicted heartache, and unique struggles, helps readers understand their own faith, and that hope comes in many forms. Bravo, in these times of crises and upheaval, readers have a sliver of light—and that is truly all any of us need to survive even the darkest of times.
