About this audiobook
It's 1924, and times are tough throughout the Midwest. Tougher even for nineteen year old Hallie Meredith. Totally on her own and with a younger brother to care for, she is desperately in need of a job. She left her last job with rich, Quentin Raford when his unwelcome romantic overtures became unbearable.
When Garth Macleod offers her a job as cook with his threshing outfit she jumps at it and finds a home with his nomadic outfit. They travel from farm to farm threshing wheat for farmers from miles around. But her security is short-lived when Raford decides he wants to put Macleod's outfit out of business.

Her debut novel, Tame the Wild Stallion, was published in 1957.

Reviews for The Unplowed Sky
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an interesting story of harvest season in the days of early harvesting machines. Starting in Kansas and traveling with their machines northward, zigzagging across the states, harvesting for hire. Descriptions of Kansas were perfectly rendered. Characterization, many based on real people, was nicely done. (Note to self – remember the cat under the beard.) Also portrayed well was the life of the traveling harvesters as lived on the road, quite different from the stories you read of migrant workers in current times. There was a bit of a love story involved; not really my cup of tea, and that part was kind of lame. But the historical aspects of the harvest season in the 1920’s were fascinating.
