About this listen

 Laugh out loud funny! The “West Texas Folks” Series is a satirical, historical saga encompassing three generations of three families from West Texas from the turn of the Twentieth Century to present day. Told with the raw humor of the many characters that include: Grandma Jessie Belle; a flamboyant grandmotherly prostitute who achieved success in her profession of “running the girls” at the local truck stop. Amos; a shrewd and uneducated pioneer of cocaine trafficking that paved the route to the American northeast by networking through the brothels and truck stops up the Mississippi River into Chicago. Opal – a woman who prepares endlessly for the perfection she aspires to in life through the paper dolls she collects. Theodora, an overweight and overlooked daughter who has to pave her own way in the shadows of her sister, Genevieve. Genevieve; a socially ambitious, spoiled, young woman from the wrong side of the tracks, willing to do anything to gain the lifestyle of her dreams by marrying the “right” man. Annabelle and Wayde Hardesty; descended from Texas ranching and oil families. The Hardesty’s are hard-working, pillars of society and the parents of a son, Colton and daughter, Irma. Wayde and Annabelle devote their work to making the community strong and solid by forming their own bank. They face personal struggles with their only son’s homosexuality in a 1950’s and 1960’s Christian community. When Wayde’s affair with Genevieve bankrupts him he commits suicide and leaves Annabelle to pick up the pieces and restore the family’s legacy. “Kinfolks” picks up exactly where “Folks” left off and is carried through with two, parallel stories evolving simultaneously. As the story opens, Grandma Jessie Belle is running around the front yard and in the street between the two houses – swirling in crazy circles all over the place with that loaded handgun waved high above her head and screaming so loud that her voice was cracking, “I’m gonna shoot holes in your sorry asses!!! I ain’t gonna kill you yet but I’m gonna make sure you never sit down again without feelin’ a butt full of bullets!!” Her gun let out a bang towards the clear blue sky above as she asked, “You hear me?” It let out another bang. After a colossal falling out with Grandma Jessie Belle, Mama enlists Avery to help her paint a colorful billboard sized sign in front of their house which is across the street from Grandma Jessie Belle’s house. The sign says, “I hate all you illiterate mutherfuckers and I quit!” Avery and Mama load up the old 1964 Chevy Bonanza pick-up truck with the Beverly Hillbillies camper on back and set out on a road trip that lasts the better part of two years – funded by sewing and selling crafts to pay their way. Mama recounts the family stories as they drive. Biographical Fiction Genre Fiction Memoirs, Diaries & Correspondence Texas
