Lisa discusses The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon, which is a historical fiction book about Martha Ballard, who was a real midwife, who delivered more than 800 babies. The book is fiction, but Martha wrote a journal for more than 25 years. 

 A Midwife's Tale, the Life of Martha Ballard – based on the diary 1785 to 1812.
