Minor gods, aliens, and a Pink '58 Edsel Citation work together to help Veetch Poteet, a lucky, gem-crying albino man-child in finding his real mother, gaining the love of his life, and saving the Western United States. Raised in an orphanage, abandoned as a child, a carnival side-show runaway, Veetch has found a home in a hidden reality bend in the Far West, but his soul isn't satisfied. He longs for the family he's been denied. He wants the love of a manna-bringing ballerina, who barely knows he exists. But a gold-digging banker threatens even the relative tranquility he has found in his hometown of Peculiar by threatening to bring in a mining operation and pollute the fragile environment there. So Veetch must please the Water Nymphs, gain the magical key and beat the mining company in order to avert a natural disaster of global proportions. And he might be able to do all that, with the help of a Shoshone Medicine Man, a shipload of music-loving aliens, his superior good luck, and an ancient Japanese lawn ornament.
