Pointing with Lips: A week in the life of a rez chick

â€œIt is rare that you come across a new voice as authentic as Dana Lone Hill. She writes with passion and determination about a side of America that few will ever see. But Lonehill takes you there with emotion and raw power. Pointing With Lips is a startling debut.â€ - Paul Harris, The Guardian

Sincere Strongheart is a modern day rez chick and single mother of three, living on one of the poorest Indian reservations in America. The novel Pointing with Lips covers a week of her life in Pine Ridge, interacting with many unforgettable characters in her large family. Sincereâ€™s story is funny, raw, sad, even suspenseful, but the main struggle lives inside her as she hopes to overcome the buried demons of her past.

Her first book is already creating a rez sensation with Indian Country media:
â€œDana Lone Hill is a powerful new voice from Lakota Country that has so often been confined to historical stereotype or painted in a contemporary setting with a one dimensional brush. Dana shatters those shackles and forms a deeply personal, raw and moving narrative that takes the reader deep into contemporary life on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, one of the worldâ€™s most complex and engaging societies.â€ -Steven Lewis Simpson director of the Native films Rez Bomb, A Thunder-Being Nation & The Hub.

â€œWith so much literature out there attempting to portray authentic Native life, it is refreshing to have a work written from the perspective of someone who has actually lived it. This book is essential reading for those attempting to understand the life of Native people living in America.â€ - Brandon Ecoffey, editor, Native Sun News

â€œPointing with Lips by Dana Lone Hill just might be one of the best books Iâ€™ve come acrossâ€”if not the best. A beautiful, entertaining, relatable, inspirational, and so-much-more read, Lone Hillâ€™s poetic yet readable wording makes you feel as if youâ€™re sitting attentively across from her, gripping a cup a coffee waiting for more.â€ - Patricia Stein, Urban Native Magazine

Lone Hill (Oglala Lakota) is internationally recognized for her freelance writing in the Guardian newspaper, LAST REAL INDIANS, Lakota Country Times, The Intersection of Madness and Reality, LA Progressive and her popular blog: www.justarezchick.wordpress.com. On Twitter: @JustARezChick.
