Publisher's Synopsis

The Humming Bird is a novel written by Owen Johnson. The story revolves around a wealthy young man named Anthony Kendrick, who is trying to figure out his place in the world. He has everything he could ever want, including a luxurious lifestyle and a beautiful fianc�����e, but he feels unfulfilled and restless. One day, Kendrick meets a young woman named Doris Lee, who works as a nurse in a poor neighborhood. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, Kendrick is drawn to Doris and her simple but meaningful way of life. He begins to spend more and more time with her, learning about her experiences and the struggles of the people in her community. As Kendrick becomes more involved in Doris's world, he starts to question his own values and priorities. He realizes that his wealth and privilege have insulated him from the harsh realities of life, and he begins to see the world in a new light. The novel explores themes of class, privilege, and social responsibility. It is a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging story that will leave readers thinking long after they finish reading.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
