Description: A chance meeting with a young Navajo Indian propels an English traveler out of his middle-class life and into the world of North American Indian Medicine Men, a world where people genuinely believe that witchcraft can bring ruin, even death, and only Medicine Men have the knowledge to lift curses and restore the sick to health. Along the way, he travels across the beautiful Southwest, famous for its fabled Route 66 and breath-taking scenery.
