A historical mystery rooted in a midwife’s diary
Set in the eighteenth century, the novel draws on the real-life diary entries of Martha Ballard, a midwife whose place at the center of a murder trial shapes its historical-mystery premise. The source connects domestic record-keeping with a criminal case, giving the book a basis in both documented history and mystery. The description offers little detail about the trial or its outcome, so the central appeal lies in that intersection of Ballard’s life, her diary, and the case surrounding her.
