Cloudy in the West

By: Elmer Kelton

Narrated by: George Guidall

In the Texas backlands in 1885, 12-year-old Joey Shipman's father dies under mysterious circumstances, and the boy is forced to live with his stepmother and Blair Meacham, a hanger-on at the farm.

After the death of a black farmhand and friend, and another "accident" that almost takes Joey's life, the boy runs away and joins forces with his only kin - Beau Shipman, a drunk and a jailbird. Beau, along with an outlaw, a San Antonio prostitute, and a sheepman, become Joey's unlikely partners as he is trailed by their murderous Meacham, in league with Joey's stepmother in their scheme to inherit the Shipman farm.

The Adventures of Another Super Western

It Never gets old to listen to George tell the story. I am willing to lose sleep to stay with it.

Thanks,

Kelton and Guidall - Perfect

I have NEVER been disappointed with an Elmer Kelton book, and I have NEVER been disappointed with a narration by George Guidall. From cats to cowboys, if Guidall narrates a book, it has always been worth my time. I believe it will be the same for you.

If you like western novels with a strong moral message and world-class dialogue, you can always count on Elmer Kelton to deliver.

I strongly endorse this audiobook.

Another great Elmer Kelton & George Guidall Combo

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story. As usual, Elmer Kelton renders an authentic Western adventure that delivers excitement flavored with humor and clever dialog.

As usual, George Guidall brings the tale to life with his narration.

don't miss

this is one of the best Kelton books that I've read. loved it all the way through

The twist and turns that the boy and his cousin took and how it ended up at the end of the book.

The book was a very simple book but you could not figure out exactly how the book was going to end as you can and so many other books. This was a book of love intrigue family tragedy death and growth of the human body and soul.
