Young India Opal Buloni has just moved to Naomi, Florida with her preacher father when a large, ugly dog finds her in the produce department of Winn-Dixie. Through her dog, Opal is introduced to a cast of quirky characters, Miss Fanny the librarian, who's family candy taste of sorrows, Gloria Dump who's tree is hung with empty liquor bottles to remind her of her mistakes, and Otis, ex-convict, musician, and pet store manager. All come together as friends. A heart-warming story that involves the reader so much that one doesn't want to stop until the last page is reached.
