Ohnalee

Ohnalee, Mermaid of Heceta Head is the story of a high-spirited young girl who lived on the spectacular Oregon Coast in the early nineteen hundreds. From childhood, Margaret Rose Lavell has been fascinated by the sea caves along the shore, and often spends time there communicating with enigmatic friends who surf into the interior of the caverns to rest and play.
