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.
The Last Train to Key West
In 1935 three women are forever changed when one of the most
powerful hurricanes in history barrels toward the Florida Keys in New
York Times bestselling author Chanel Cleeton's captivating new novel.
Everyone journeys to Key West searching for something. For the tourists
traveling on Henry Flagler’s legendary Overseas Railroad, Labor Day weekend is
an opportunity to forget the economic depression gripping the nation. But one
person’s paradise can be another’s prison, and Key West-native Helen Berner
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.
