Ariel Lawhon’s novel The Frozen River is inspired by the real-life 18th-century Maine midwife Martha Ballard. When a man is found frozen in the ice of the Kennebec River in Maine, Martha, a renowned midwife and healer, uses the details recorded in her own diary to investigate a shocking murder. This gripping historical mystery follows Martha as she defies the legal system and relentlessly pursues justice at a time when women were rarely heard.
