Advance Praise for Unspoken
Laden with themes of survival, self-worth, and empowerment, Jann Alexander’s first book in the Dust series delivers a lesson in overcoming adversity in the face of personal and environmental catastrophe.
CAM TORRENS
award-winning author of the Tyler Zahn suspense series
Alexander wastes no time snaring you with ... a visceral description of all-too-common calamity during the Dust Bowl’s insipid encroachment ... A sweeping story of many truths during a time little told. Don’t miss it.
KAY SMITH-BLUM
award-winning author of Tangles
Jann Alexander's blazingly alive novel asks, how do we keep a family intact? Especially during a time of upheaval and betrayal in the 1930s Dust Bowl?
Here, in a story told by both a mother and her daughter, two people struggle to both understand their world and each other.
CAROLINE LEAVITT
New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
Unspoken is steeped in grit and emotional intensity ... I recommend it for anyone ready to weather an emotional storm in exchange for a beautifully written tale of survival and hope.

Editor, Literary Titan
Reminds me, in tone, of Texas classics like The Time it Never Rained and Giant. I loved it. Alexander is a great new talent in the genre of Texana.

Alexander's storytelling vividly captures the harsh realities of the Dust Bowl with impressive historical accuracy that spans from the intricate details of the disaster itself to the emotional depth of the impact it had on the livelihoods and attitudes of ordinary people.
