~For over ten years I had the privilege of being part of a lovely book club. Our conversations about books and our lives are one of my treasured memories. With that in mind, I have tried to include questions that will help you get to know your fellow book club members stories and how they intersect with Peggy Sue's story.

​

1. Other than Peggy Sue, who was your favorite character?

​​

2. Where there any parts of the story that reminded you of your childhood?

​​

3. Remember your ten-year-old self, how would you have solved a murder mystery?

​​

4. What was your favorite scene? What was your least favorite scene?

​

5. Why do you think it is titled Taming a Hummingbird? Do you think Peggy Sue was ever tamed, and if so by who?

​

6. How was addiction portrayed in the novel? Do you think this was truthful? What was it lacking?

​

6. In what ways are Peggy Sue's Momma and Daddy good parents? Where do they fail?

​

7. Discuss the quote, "The detectives were less interested in the miracles and kept asking me to tell them ‘just the facts.’ I looked at them as if they were crazy, the miracles were the facts. In fact, the most fantastical things in this story are the most truthful."

​

8. Who was the hero of the book?

​

9. What are some of the miracles that Peggy Sue experienced? Reflect on you own life, what are some miracles that you've experienced?

​

10. What genre would you consider this book?
