A Raw Hummingbird is the first volume of a creative nonfiction trilogy. It delves into identity formation, sexual orientation, rape, abuse, spirituality and the significance of relationships within our lives. Actual emails, online chats and memories weave together the lives of two radically different teenage girls: Sage, a socially aloof, highly intelligent lesbian and Jasper a socially preoccupied heterosexual. This series exposes some of their most controversial fears, questions, decisions and emotions. It is a true story. A Raw Hummingbird -- the story of two young women who were never meant to fall in love.
