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. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town's most respected gentlemen--one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own. Over the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie." --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books Lawhon   Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order     On Order   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books Lawhon   Checked out 05/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Lawhon   Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahului Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     On Order   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Lawhon   Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Lawhon   Item hold expired   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Lawhon [Mystery] Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Mystery Lawhon   Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
