What does Mary May Kincaid remember? She remembers her childhood. She remembers her son, her husband, a wedding. A day on the beach. And the girl with the red hair. She remembers the scent of lavender and mint. A wall, marked by bright spray paint. A conversation. A visit. Memories of days past, of places, of people, all churning about, overlapping. What does Mary May Kincaid remember? And how much can she hold on to?

But on occasion a wandering soul will find their way into the lobby of Hotel Lusoldo. They will meet the courteous and accommodating staff who will relieve their burdens. Other guests will traipse by, all marvelous performers and artists of fields too numerous to count. And then these wanderers will decide if they wish to check into the hotel as well.
