I totally enjoyed every minute spent with Martha Ballard and even enjoyed the author’s explanation about some of the decisions she made in the telling of her story. For me, it underscored how real and how remarkable Martha was.
Read this book.

Trigger warning about traumatic labor, which I have had but it was actually healing for me. You will fall in love with the main character. Beautiful book.
Great read

Well written and engaging story. However, it is somewhat explicit in dealing with the issue of rape, which may be too disturbing to some readers.
Amazing story; Don’t read the notes

Absolutely loved the riveting story. I wish I had simply put the book down when the narrative ended as the author’s notes turned me against her. I found them to be pretentious and in the case of the “you’re welcome”‘s quite obnoxious. Despite the excellence of the work itself, I won’t pick up the other books.
Mesmerizing!

Well written, gripping! Experiencing the world of Martha Ballard and her character, motivates me to be the woman God created me to be!
Lots of empty words.

I applauded my very being for finishing The Frozen River. The storyline was intriguing, but this novel was so overloaded with details that I felt, at times, that I would jump out of my skin. Each detail gave life to ten more details, and those ten details multiplied accordingly. I honestly think I am incapable of reading another of Miss Lawhon’s novels.
I am an English teacher and have read hundreds of lengthy novels over many years, but this novel written by, inarguably an excellent writer, was too much for me. I am spending the remainder of my night with a cold compress attached to my forehead.

Excellent. This is the best book I have read in such a long while. It took me a bit to get involved but every bit worth the perseverance. Again, excellent. Highly recommend
