Luski’s Silent Girl: A Story That Echoes Our Fight
I wanted to share something deeply personal my new novel Luski's Silent Girl: A Native American revenge story isn’t just fiction.
It tells the story of a Deaf Lumbee girl whose homeland is stolen and set on fire by a cowboy. Her father dies in the flames, and all she has left is a wounded black wolf named Luski.
She survives not just through strength, but by recognizing the patterns of loss, silence, and injustice.
Sound familiar?
That’s why this story matters. Because it mirrors what we’ve lived as Lumbee people. We’ve had to fight for every inch for recognition, respect, and land.
H.R. 474 isn’t just a bill. It’s our truth. Just like this book.
If you have a minute, please watch the trailer. I poured my heart into it for my father, for my tribe, for every Lumbee who’s ever been told they don’t count.
