Sam’s Book Club – Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
February 5 @ 5:30 pm
Sam’s Book Club meets on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 5:30 in the community room. On Feb. 5th we will be discussing Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon.
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. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.
