The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon is based on the true story of the life of Martha Ballard who was a midwife that helped women deliver their babies. Martha is called when a man accused of rape is found dead in a river. Someone says otherwise and Martha must decide if she got it right so investigates the murder on her own. This book is pretty good but could use more action. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)
The story is based on a true live midwife who lived during colonial times. I loved it and to the peek it gave us of that time period. Here's my review of the book: https://headfullofbooks.blogspot.com/2025/05/review-frozen-river-friday56-linkup.html
