Absolutely captivating! A treasure to read the relationships portrayed between these pages--and the anguish over the treatment of women and all they have had to overcome through generations. You'll experience every emotion from anger, joy, hope, and pain. Such an incredible bookclub discussion.

Chosen as our work book club read for July. I've always enjoyed historical fiction and Ms. Lawhon's contribution, The Frozen River, reminded me why I so enjoy this genre. Historical figures from the time period play a part in this well told tale of small town life for a midwife and mother. There is enough intrigue to keep you turning the page, but enough body to the writing to flesh out the characters as well. A very enjoyable book about a serious subject that has affected women from the beginning of time.

Found the main character was a little too good and lacked flaws. Interesting read. A sad reminder of what happens when women do not have rights.
