The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida,
Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket—and comes out with a dog. A big,
ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn-Dixie.
Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent
mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making
friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local
librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of WAR AND
PEACE. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and
Otis, an ex-con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then
lulls them with his guitar.
Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship—and forgiveness—can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.

yearns to escape.
The Cuban Revolution of 1933 left Mirta Perez’s family in a precarious position. After an arranged wedding in Havana, Mirta arrives in the Keys on her honeymoon. While she can’t deny the growing attraction to the stranger she’s married, her new husband’s illicit business interests may threaten not only her relationship, but her life.
Elizabeth Preston's trip from New York to Key West is a chance to save her once-wealthy family from their troubles as a result of the Wall Street crash. Her quest takes her to the camps occupied by veterans of the Great War and pairs her with an unlikely ally on a treacherous hunt of his own.
Over the course of the holiday weekend, the women’s paths cross unexpectedly, and the danger swirling around them is matched only by the terrifying force of the deadly storm threatening the Keys.
