The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

dark emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.25

One of the most compelling books I’ve read recently. There are numerous content warnings for this one (seriously!) and historical fiction isn’t typically my genre. However, I loved stepping into Martha’s world and the seeing the ways in which she loved her husband, her family, and her patients. If you like badass women who take no guff, this might be for you. Yes, there is murder and violence in this book, but the heart of it is about human relationships and helping each other to survive in a messy world. Liked it.
