About Vacancy

THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE DUST SERIES


A struggling single mother and a suspicious widow, at odds.

Both have a habit of hiding from hard truths.


Helen is childless and widowed after a long marriage and gets a second chance with a long-lost love. But she’s grieving her hidden regrets. She bonds with her quiet kindergarten student and doubts the girl’s struggling single mother, Charlene, is fit to parent. 

 

Charlene’s hiding a secret of her own, and she resents Helen’s interference. She’s determined to make a better life for her young daughter, the teenage boy her ex left behind, and the baby on the way when a scarred veteran offers to lend a hand.  


A tragedy no one sees coming forces the two women to unite, as small-town bias threatens to destroy innocent lives. But first, Helen and Charlene must confront the vacancy in their hearts. As they do, can they find new strength, acceptance, and a second chance at love? 


INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS





Vacancy Is Awarded 5 Stars by Readers' Favorite:   


"Vacancy by Jann Alexander had me hooked from the first page until the last. The chapters alternated between the characters and flowed seamlessly into each other. There were several subplots that were woven through the story. Helen and Charlene both had emotional scars that changed into hope throughout the book. Both of them received a second chance at happiness, and I could not wait to see if it would be their happy ever after. I had a hard time putting the book down; I was too afraid I would miss something. The writing was engaging, and emotions, grief, and struggles were handled with utmost care. The book is beautifully written, with all the components to be a winner. This book is much more than I expected, and it lingers long after the final page." —READERS' FAVORITES
