Texas Panhandle, 1935. The drought has lasted for years, crops are dying, and the dust storms have turned the air itself into a threat. Ten-year-old Ruby Lee Becker has just lost her grandmother and baby sister to dust pneumonia when Black Sunday swallows her town in a wall of dirt. Soon Ruby is fighting for every breath. After she survives a near-fatal illness, her father sends her to Waco, where the air is cleaner and a distant cousin can care for her until the rains return. Ruby believes she has been abandoned. What she does not know is that her mother, Willa Mae, has been committed to a state asylum after grief and trauma overwhelm her. While Ruby struggles through floods, a state children's home, the Depression, and the changing world of wartime Texas, Willa Mae writes letters that never reach her and clings to art and memory as proof of the life she had before everything disappeared into dust. Told in the alternating voices of mother and daughter, Unspoken is a richly detailed historical novel about the devastating choices families made to survive the Dust Bowl - and the secrets that can separate people long after the storm has passed. Heart-wrenching, hopeful, and filled with fiercely resilient women, this is a story of loss, courage, found family, and one girl's relentless determination to return home. Read Unspoken by Jann Alexander today! Available now on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. You can also check out the eBook through your local library on digital platforms like OverDrive and Hoopla.
