SUMMARY:Book Discussion - The Frozen River
LOCATION:188 East Michigan Avenue Galesburg\, MI 49053
DESCRIPTION:<p>Maine\, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes\, entombing a
  man in the ice\, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and deter
 mine cause of death. When a local physician undermines her conclusion\, de
 claring the death to be an accident\, Martha is forced to investigate the 
 shocking murder on her own.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>As a midwife and heale
 r\, Martha is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowe
 ll. Her diary is a record of every birth and death\, crime and debacle tha
 t unfolds in the close-knit community.&nbsp\;Over the course of one winter
 \, as the trial nears\, and whispers and prejudices mount\, Martha doggedl
 y pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal\, i
 mplicating those she loves\, and compelling Martha to decide where her own
  loyalties lie.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Clever\, layered\, and subversive\
 , Ariel Lawhon&rsquo\;s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who r
 efused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were cons
 idered 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.</p>
