Join us for our November reading: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon.
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon is a gripping historical novel set in 1789 Maine. Inspired by real diary entries, it follows midwife Martha Ballard as she uncovers the truth behind a shocking murder discovered in the frozen Kennebec River. With her sharp wit, courage, and determination, Martha defies the limits placed on women of her time to seek justice in a community full of secrets.
