Author Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), holds degrees from Yale University and the College of William and Mary. Her work “Going to Water” won the Morning Star Award for Creative Writing from the Native American Literature Symposium and was a finalist for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. She is the first member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to publish a novel, “Even as We Breathe,” which David Joy, author of “When These Mountains Burn,” says is “a period piece that illuminates and echoes our current time. A powerful story told by voices that ring true as scripture…a masterful debut from the writer we need right now.”
