Anecia O'Carroll, M.A., author of First Breaths, is a member of the Alutiiq Tribe of Alaska.  Her life is a pulsing collage of stories, dances, dreams, spirited conversations and lasting connections made together with Kevin, her husband of 23 years, three daughters whom Anecia feels so privileged to know -- Kathleen, Bridget, and Fiona, and friends-turned-family in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, New England, and Ireland.  She can be contacted at
