SUMMARY:Book Discussion: " The Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhon
DESCRIPTION:Maine\, 1789: The Kennebec River freezes\, entombing a man in the ice. Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As the local midwife and healer\, Martha is good at keeping secrets. Her diary is a record of every birth and death\, every murder and debacle that unfolds in the town of Hallowell. In that diary she also documented the details of an alleged rape that occurred four months earlier. Now\, one of the men accused of that heinous attack has been found dead in the ice. While Martha is certain she knows what happened the night of the assault\, she suspects that the two crimes are linked\, and that there is more to both cases than meets the eye. Over the course of one long\, hard winter\, as the trial nears\, and whispers and prejudices mount\, Martha’s diary lands at the center of the scandal and threatens to tear both her family and her community apart. In her newest offering\, Ariel Lawhon brings to life a brave and compassionate unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice on behalf of those no one else would protect. The Frozen River is a thrilling\, tense\, and tender story of a remarkable woman who had the courage to take a stand\, and in the process wrote herself into American history.\n\nFind the ebook and/or eaudiobook on stchlibrary.org
