About this audiobook
Nervy Corvus had escaped the dark underbelly of Missouri’s meth world years ago. But when her husband, a well-established psychiatrist, dies unexpectedly, she finds herself widowed, and in danger. Her husband’s casket barely in the ground, a slew of killers, tweakers, lawyers, and judges converge on Nervy. Each one has their own reasons to ensnare, exploit, or even kill her, but she’s not going down without a fight. Desperate, cunning, and shameless, Nervy is willing to barter herself, her husband’s reputation, and an entire community’s psychiatric records to get her revenge. Emerging from a small-town setting comes an oversized story of tragedy, vulnerability, and finding the strength to go on. Watering Weeds provides a gripping view of entrenched corruption and brutality, and one woman’s refusal to succumb to the dark forces surrounding her.
About the author
J. Calvin Harwood is the pen name for psychiatrist and first time novel author of Watering Weeds being released in Sept. 2018. Harwood was born in small town Missouri but grew up experiencing a succession of geographic relocations throughout the western United States about every two years. Being an only child the first 15 years of his life combined with the family's nomadic lifestyle and his early and consistent exposure to Bible stories and sermons created a lifetime's predisposition toward seeing and exploring intertwined themes of loneliness, personal worth and courage. With his developmental influences now filtered through the accumulated experiences of 4+ decades of marriage and nearly equal years of psychiatric study and practice Harwood is turning his hand to writing.
