Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

Based on the remarkable true story of Martha Ballard, Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon is a gripping historical novel set in the brutal winter of 1789 Maine where a frozen river reveals a body, and a midwife becomes the unlikely center of a murder investigation. Martha Ballard kept a meticulous diary for 27 years, and Lawhon brings her to vivid, fierce life in this atmospheric and deeply researched novel. It's a story about women's voices, justice, and the power of bearing witness in a world that would rather look away. Utterly compelling from the first page. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, true crime, and stories of extraordinary women. Please review all listing photos before purchasing.
