Thursday Evening Book Club: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

Read The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon and then come discuss it with us at the Des Plaines Public Library.

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.

Copies of these books are available at the Readers Services desk on the 3rd floor of the library. Registration required. The book club will meet in the Room C on the first floor of the Des Plaines Public Library @ 7:30pm on January 22nd.
