NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GMA BOOK CLUB PICK • AN NPR BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the New York Times bestselling author of I Was Anastasia and Code Name Hélène comes a gripping historical mystery inspired by the life and diary of Martha Ballard, a renowned 18th-century midwife who defied the legal system and wrote herself into American history.

"Fans of Outlander’s Claire Fraser will enjoy Lawhon’s Martha, who is brave and outspoken when it comes to protecting the innocent. . . impressive."—The Washington Post

"Once again, Lawhon works storytelling magic with a real-life heroine." —People Magazine


Maine, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.

Over the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie.

Clever, layered, and subversive, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten to this day.

It's been a while since I've been this eager to get back to a book. Beautifully written, very well produced, and a great, great story. A little bit extreme at the end, but I respect the author's decisions. This was one of those books where you love the characters so much you feel like you're losing friends when it's over.

absolutely fantastic

The storytelling is compelling. The very fragile subject is dealt with, with respect and integrity. Even though the subject was sometimes hard to listen to, there is also so much love, compassion and understanding falling off the pages, it also warms your heart. So touching.

Eine Zeitreise in eine Welt, in der das Leben auf allen Ebenen herausfordernd gewesen ist. Jede Figur war sichtbar und fühlbar, egal ob sie nun liebenswert oder verachtenswert dargestellt war. Am Ende erzählt Ariel Lawhon, wie sie auf die Geschichte gekommen ist und enthüllt einen erstaunlichen Hintergrund.

Wundervolle Geschichte
