Vern Doolittle, a lonely motel owner in the New Mexico desert, has given up on life—until a purple bus pulls into his lot. Its occupants, Oren, Margot, and Felix, are no ordinary travelers. They carry a collection of impossible things: a moth made of forgotten stories, a pessimistic creature named Herbert, and a Cockney sparrow with unexpected wisdom. As Vern reluctantly befriends his strange guests, they help him unearth the stories he's buried for forty years. This is a heartwarming, humorous tale about loneliness, second chances, and the magic that arrives when you least expect it.
