A great work of historical fiction, based on the midwife Martha Ballard, who lived and worked in Maine in the late 1700s. She left behind a prolific diary, about her work, her life, and the goings-on in her small town, one of which is the assault and rape at the center of this book. It was hard to put down!

This book is amazing! I love how it unfolds with Martha the midwife at the center of the drama.
The setting of the scenes occurs during a Massachusetts' winter a few years after the American Revolution. I love historical fiction, so this was right up my alley.
The romance between Martha and her husband was epic, and the language was beautifully written.
