My first read of 2024 was “The Frozen River” by Ariel Lawhon.
It is a historical fiction about a real woman, Martha Ballard, who lived in Maine in the 1700s and early 1800s. She was a midwife and healer who kept a daily journal - both to remember the births and deaths she attended, but also to record what was going on in their village at that time. In this story, she helps to solve the mystery of a murder that occurred in their town, and finds herself embroiled in scandal along the way.
I really enjoyed this one, and the winter imagery felt perfect for this time of year. I did not know upon picking up the book that Martha Ballard was a real person, so it’s been interesting to read more about her story and some of the other real people who were characters in this book.

This book is recommended on a lot of mommy blogs. I added it to my on-line library reading list a while ago. With it being so coled and snowy where I live I prefer to read/watch summery book/shows right now. For me, this will be a warm weather read.
