We will have dinner and then chat about the novel!

Description:
Set in 1789 in Maine, The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon tells the story of Marta Ballad, a midwife and healer whose detailed diary captures every birth, death, and secret in the small town of Hallowell. When a man is found frozen in the Kennebec River, Marta is called to investigate, but her concerns are dismissed by a prominent physician. As a trial approaches, Marta quietly follows the clues herself, and her diary-full of hidden scandals-becomes key to uncovering the truth. With loyalties tested and secrets revealed, Marta must decide to protect those she loves or fight for justice.
