It is interesting, partly explained by “The Frozen River” being a work of fiction and partly by the fact that it condenses many years of Martha’s diaries into a period of six months. It is also explained by the fact that Ephraim still worked well into his 80s. Martha was 10 years his junior and still attended women in labor until shortly before her death. I find the Martha and Ephraim of real life every bit as amazing as in “The Frozen River.”
