When Katie Steury hires her old friend Harley Lambright to remodel her rundown house into a charming bed and breakfast, she does so with trepidation. Though they are longtime friends, theyโve always had a rocky relationship. They may not always get along, but she needs someone to trust with her secrets, and Harley is nothing if not trustworthy and loyal.
Katie has always reminded Harley of a bright hummingbirdโshe is small and flighty, moves a mile a minute, and she possesses a very sharp beak. Heโs hesitant to accept the job because of his history with Katie. But when he realizes that sheโs been hiding her motherโs hoarding, he agrees to help her because itโs clear she needs someone on her side.
Both soon discover that clearing the debris in one old house also means they have to do some clean-up in their lives, forcing them to reevaluate their past and their future. This somewhat painful process reveals that Katie isnโt the only one with secrets. As the house gets a second chance, so, too, does their relationship. Now all they have to do is open their heartsโand hope and pray that their new bond will also stand the test of time.
