Join the Carpinteria Library Book Club this month as we dive into Ariel Lawhon’s gripping historical mystery, The Frozen River!
Set in the bitter Maine winter of 1789, this bestselling novel follows Martha Ballard—a formidable real-life midwife, healer, and investigator—as she uses her sharp wit and meticulous diary to uncover the truth behind a body found trapped in the Kennebec River ice. It is a powerful, atmospheric tale of justice, women’s autonomy, and small-town secrets that is sure to spark a lively conversation. Whether you read every page or just want to connect with fellow local readers, all are welcome to join us for great discussion and light refreshments
