A diverse cast of characters congregates at Aggie Duncan's motel. The group includes recently widowed Aggie, who's reluctantly selling her beloved motel; Willow, whose heart is broken after her mother leaves; Loretta, on a journey to learn about her birth family; and Kirby, on his way to reform school. O'Connor weaves multiple perspectives into a nuanced portrait of a special place.
