Stratford: Book Club: “The Frozen River” by Ariel Lawhon

All are welcome to join us for the March Stratford Book Club as the group discusses “The Frozen River” by Ariel Lawhon.

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. 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.

New members always welcome, no registration required. Stop by the Stratford Branch to pick up a copy of the book.
