A review by krissymartini
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

4.5

Martha Ballard is a bad ass. This book was an unexpected pick for me for my book club and I’m so happy I grabbed it. Never read the author before but I certainly will pick up more in the future. It’s so incredibly well-researched (the authors note MUST be read but not til you’re done the book) and it is such a powerful story. 

The twist isn’t necessarily unexpected but still deeply satisfying. Love Martha & Ephraim’s relationship 🫶. Every one of their kids was so well-drawn, and PLEASE lord I see what you do for others, deliver unto me what Moses and Barnabas have (hot, smart women with secure attachment styles).
