A Native American medicine woman,
Squashblossom, lives on the desert in the southwestern region of the
country. Her truest friends are the animals, the plants, the sun, the
moon and an old sidewinder named Desert Dan. She's at peace with
herself. Her energies are in tune with the earth and the natural
elements. Gus and Ocean Rudee's first encounter with Squashblossom was
one they'll never forget. Her occasional visits to The Lighthouse keep
Ocean Rudee in touch with things 'above and beyond the sea'.
Even though they are miles and life-styles apart their friendship has
maintained a strong and steady course since its first beginnings.
