An archival postcard of the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C., where much of the novel Even As We Breathe is set.

The book is a mystery of sorts, set at an upscale North Carolina resort during World War II. Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle teaches at a high school with a student population that’s 30% Native American.
