Carver's Mill

Harvey's funny and bittersweet novel follows the sorry life of Bert Emmerling, Carver's Mill's one and only veterinarian. Even his cows don't like him. His one and only friend since childhood, Cubby Dixon is even worse than his enemies. When Channel 89's new weather woman, Charlotte McKeon, moves to town (having nearly been tarred and feathered out in Tucson) she grates on Bert's nerves so much, it's worth moving away. With heart and humanity, Carver's Mill, puts a lump in your throat on one page, only to make you blow your coffee on the next. Poignant, funny, memorable dialogue, and an unusual philosophy. Settle into your favorite chair and relax for a wonderful ride. Nibble Magazine A great read! Delicious spot-on dialogue. Harvey has the ability to pepper bittersweet scenes with humor, and then turn around and clobber you while you're laughing. CrossBow Books
