Entertaining ghost story
Reviewed: 10-07-24
I really disliked the narrator and wonder how she ever got hired. She consistently glottal stopped her t's, which is just bad enunciation and irritating for the listener. I hope she doesn't narrate book 2.

My late husband was a Vietnam Vet
Reviewed: 05-07-24
I didn't want this story to end. In 1985, when I was only 26 years old, my husband, a Vietnam vet, died from stomach cancer at the age of 38. Agent Orange was likely the cause. I'm 65 now and have lived a full life and don't think of those days often, so this read not only took me back, but gave me a new perspective on what it must have been like for him. He didn't speak of it often. I knew he had untreated ptsd the first time he hit the deck during a thunderstorm. Kristin Hannah, thank you for this book. It was hard, remembering his pain, but it was lovely remembering Charles and the few sweet years we had together.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it! This is the first book I've read by this author and will be looking for more by her. What made it more interesting for me is that it's based on a real person and thanks to her meticulous journaling we have some insight into what daily life was like for women of her time. Bravo!

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,741
Roger Stringer grew up in rural Mississippi, hunting and eating everything from deer to rabbits. When he had two sons, Zac and Justin, he gave them guns and took them to the woods as well. Then one day when the boys were home alone, he got a call from Zac that Justin had been shot. What follows is an intimate and gripping memoir about the shooting’s aftermath. The story moves between the perspectives of Roger and Zac as they take us through their journey of betrayal, redemption, and ultimately confrontation with a company that had kept its corruption a secret for decades.

Heartbreaking...

So brave and important for Roger and Zachary to share their story. I was riveted from beginning to end. I felt both sad and angry and at times just nauseated. My husband and I own guns and stand for gun rights and ownership. And while I would never leave any firearm unlocked in my home with minors, I would never cast that stone. I sincerely hope Zachary's case is overturned.
