Friday Morning Book Group - The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon In-Person

This is historical fiction about Martha Ballard, a midwife in 1789 Maine, who investigates the murder of Joshua Burgess, who is believed to have raped the pastor's wife. The book is based on the true story of Ballard, who delivered over 1,000 babies without losing a mother and kept a diary that is considered a valuable source on midwifery in late colonial America.
