This week read Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. Wow again, this is 3rd book of hers I've read. A historical novel based on an amazing woman, a midwife who left a legacy. "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. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community." Tense, thrilling, with mysteries, mayhem, and a loving family. I wanted her story to continue, and in many ways it did.
