When a summer job at Asheville's luxurious Grove Park Inn and Resort brings him one step closer to escaping the hills that both cradle and suffocate him, he sees it as an opportunity. With World War II raging in Europe, the inn is the temporary home of Axis diplomats and their families, who are being held as prisoners of war. Soon, Cowney's refuge becomes a cage when the daughter of one of the residents goes missing and he finds himself accused of abduction and murder. Even As We Breathe invokes the elements of bone, blood, and flesh as Cowney navigates difficult social, cultural, and ethnic divides. After leaving the seclusion of the Cherokee reservation, he is able to explore a future free from the consequences of his family's choices and to construct a new worldview, for a time. However, prejudice and persecution in the white world of the resort eventually compel Cowney to free himself from larger forces that hold him back as he struggles to unearth evidence of his innocence and clear his name"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Cherokee Indians|vFiction. 650 7 Cherokee Indians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00853662 651 0 North Carolina|vFiction. 651 7 North Carolina.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204304 655 7 Thrillers (Fiction)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726755 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Suspense fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Thrillers (Fiction)|2lcgft 938 Brodart|bBROD|n127057005 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n16738687 994 C0|bORL
