Like her voice, her memories of her mother and what happened that night were frozen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet during the roaring 1920s in the beautiful, wild area on Rainy Lake where Minnesota meets Canada, \u003ci\u003eFrozen\u003c\/i\u003e tells the remarkable story of Sadie Rose, whose mother died under strange circumstances the same night that Sadie Rose was found, unable to speak, in a snowbank. Sadie Rose doesn’t know her last name and has only fleeting memories of her mother—and the conflicting knowledge that her mother had worked in a brothel. Taken in as a foster child by a corrupt senator, Sadie Rose spends every summer along the shores of Rainy Lake, where her silence is both a prison and a sanctuary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day, Sadie Rose stumbles on a half dozen faded, scandalous photographs—pictures, she realizes, of her mother. They release a flood of puzzling memories, and these wisps of the past send her at last into the heart of her own life’s great mystery: who was her mother, and how did she die? Why did her mother work in a brothel—did she have a choice? What really happened that night when a five-year-old girl was found shivering in a snowbank, her voice and identity abruptly shattered?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSadie Rose’s search for her personal truth is laid against a swirling historical drama—a time of prohibition and women winning the right to vote, political corruption, and a fevered fight over the area’s wilderness between a charismatic, unyielding, powerful industrialist and a quiet man battling to save the wide, wild forests and waters of northernmost Minnesota. \u003ci\u003eFrozen\u003c\/i\u003e is a suspenseful, moving testimonial to the haves and the have-nots, to the power of family and memory, and to the extraordinary strength of a young woman who has lost her voice in nearly every way—but is utterly determined to find it again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173422317808,"sku":"9781452933436","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452933436_p0.jpg?v=1763848165","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452933436","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
