The Whitingham Library book discussion group meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 5 pm.

 The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

 A historical mystery and fiction novel, chosen as a Good Morning America (GMA) Book Club Pick, inspired by the real diary of 18th-century midwife Martha Ballard in Hallowell, Maine. The story follows Martha as she investigates the murder of a man found frozen in the Kennebec River, uncovering secrets and challenging the patriarchal legal system of the time through her detailed journals. It's praised as a gripping, layered, and tender story about justice, female strength, and a forgotten heroine.
