The Frozen River: A GMA Book Club Pick

A man found dead in the ice and a community bound by secrets set the stage for a gripping journey into the past. The Frozen River: A GMA Book Club Pick is a masterpiece of historical fiction inspired by the real-life diary of Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife who refused to be silenced. When the Kennebec River freezes over, Martha is called to examine a body, leading her into a web of scandal and murder.

As a healer and midwife, Martha sees the truth behind every closed door in Hallowell, Maine. When a local physician attempts to cover up the crime, Martha must rely on her sharp intellect and her meticulous diary to seek justice. This story is more than a mystery; it is a testament to a woman who defied the legal system to protect the innocent.

Ariel Lawhon delivers a clever and subversive tale that fans of Outlander will find deeply immersive. The Frozen River: A GMA Book Club Pick invites readers to explore a winter of prejudice and whispers, where one woman's courage becomes a legacy that history nearly forgot.
