The Hummingbird House presents Love, from the Hummingbird House and The Easter charade : two Hummingbird House novellas
(Book)

"Paul Slater and Derrick Anderson's Shenandoah Valley Bed and Breakfast, The Hummingbird House, has become renowned as a destination of distinction that specializes in hosting events celebrating life's most magical moments. And while the celebration rarely goes as planned, the magic never fails. In "Love, From the Hummingbird House" Paul and Derrick host the Queen of Romance for a Valentine's Day Book Lover's Extravaganza, and invite members of their old book club for a reunion. But the problem with reunions is that everyone changes with time and some of those changes are more dramatic than others. Add to this a secret crush about to be made public, a secret identity about to be exposed, and an 84-year-old queen married to a 24-year-old prince, and the weekend quickly deteriorates into a web of deception and evasion. As they watch their grand celebration slowly spin into chaos, Paul and Derrick are forced to admit their mistakes, and are reminded once again that honesty is always the best policy... or is it? In "The Easter Charade" a mischievous bunny runs loose in The Hummingbird House, endangering the elaborate fiftieth anniversary party a perfectionist daughter has planned for her parents. Maddie Rockwell has spent the past year arranging the perfect tribute to her parents' half century of marriage, complete with a recreation of their original wedding photo and a renewal of their vows. Family members are flying in from all over the country, and the staff at the Hummingbird House have outdone themselves in helping to stage the perfect backdrop for this momentous event. But while Maddie spent all her efforts on planning the perfect celebration of her parents' marriage, her own marriage has been falling apart. It will take the revelation of a carefully guarded family secret, a rabbit with an appetite for paper and the magic of the Hummingbird House to put things right again. Enjoy your visit to the Hummingbird House, where you may not find what you expect, but you always find what you need."--Back cover.
