Song of Hummingbird Highway

by K. M. Cookie

About the Book

A magical realism novel of music, sacrifice, and self-discovery.

What if the music you followed halfway across the world was leading you back to yourself?

Terri, a Midwestern music lover with more bravado than self-esteem, follows her musician boyfriend from a Santa Monica reggae club to Belize. Amid Garifuna drums and Mayan cosmology, a near-death experience leads her to a mysterious healer and challenges everything she understood about life and love.

  • A character-driven story of a woman who learned early to laugh off pain, and a country that won't let her hide.
  • Christian faith, Daoist wisdom and ancestral practice reveal the power of healing music.
  • Penelope, a former nun with a shotgun and a saying for every occasion, becomes an unforgettable ally.
  • As a wife and mother, Terri must face the cracks in the life she built and the one person she's been running from. Herself.
  • Woven with 125 songs and 30 original photographs, so you can hear and see Terri's world.

From Los Angeles to the jungles and cenotes of Belize, can Terri find her own song before the life she built falls silent?

To find him, she must track her son through folklore and mysterious cenotes, guided by music that connects past wounds to future healing. In a journey where maternal love becomes the most dangerous magic, she discovers a powerful truth: Pain can become her greatest teacher.

From Los Angeles to Belize’s sacred caves,
Song of Hummingbird Highway explores how love, loss, and a mother’s fierce resolve converge into a story as intricate and luminous as the music that inspired it.
