She lives in the rolling hills outside Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and four sons. She splits her time between the grocery store and the baseball field.
"The Frozen River" plunges the reader into the early morning hours of November 1789. Local midwife and healer Martha Ballard has just finished delivering a baby when she’s called to examine a body found in the Kennebec River. Martha instantly recognizes the body—it belongs to one of two men accused of having assaulted her friend Rebecca Foster. Unfortunately, the other man accused is local judge Joseph North—who is dead set on discrediting Martha and Rebecca’s account. When the townspeople begin to point fingers as to who is to blame for Burgess’s murder, Martha’s son falls under suspicion and it becomes clear that to save him, she might have to track down the killer herself. As the wheels of justice turns, Martha bears witness and must fight against the puritanical forces that will stop at nothing to tear her family apart.
