520    A gripping historical mystery based on the real-life diary
       entries of Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife who 
       defied the legal system and wrote herself into American 
       history. 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
