Book Review: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

Ariel Lawhon’s The Frozen River is a profoundly moving historical fiction that I’ve been honoured to read along with a group of friends. Our book club has been loving this novel and I’ve been transported back over two hundred years. It’s been the perfect #fallread.
