The Frozen River is a historical fiction novel set in 1789 Maine, where a midwife named Martha Ballard is called to examine a man's body found frozen in the Kennebec River, leading her to uncover a shocking murder mystery that forces her to confront the secrets and power dynamics within her community, particularly regarding a previously documented rape case, all while navigating the complexities of a society where women's voices are often silenced. Her detailed diary becomes crucial evidence in the ensuing trial, putting her close relationships at risk as she fights for justice.
