When a local man is found dead in the ice, Martha, an 18th-century midwife, uncovers shocking truths that threaten to unravel the lives of those around her.

Ariel Lawhon crafts a compelling historical mystery inspired by the life of Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife whose diaries chronicled both the intimate and criminal secrets of her tight-knit community. With rich historical detail and a fierce, complex heroine, Lawhon delivers a story of courage, justice, and the quiet defiance of a woman who shaped history from behind the scenes.
