Necessary LiesIt is 1960 in North Carolina and the lives of Ivy Hart and Jane Forrester couldn't be more different. Fifteen year old Ivy lives with her family as tenants on a small tobacco farm, but when her parents die, Ivy is left to care for her grandmother, older sister, and nephew.

It is 1960 in North Carolina and the lives of Ivy Hart and Jane Forrester couldn't be more different. Fifteen-year-old Ivy lives with her family as tenants on a small tobacco farm, but when her parents die, Ivy is left to care for her grandmother, older sister, and nephew. As she struggles with her grandmother's aging, her sister's mental illness, and her own epilepsy, she realizes they might need more than she can give.

When Jane Forrester takes a position as Grace County's newest social worker, she is given the task of recommending which of her clients should be sterilized without their knowledge or consent. The state's rationalization is that if her clients are poor, or ill, or deemed in some way unfit they should not be allowed to have children. But soon Jane becomes emotionally invested in her clients' lives, causing tension with her new husband and her supervisors. No one understands why Jane would want to become a caseworker for the Department of Public Health when she could be a housewife and Junior League member. As Jane is drawn in by the Hart women, she begins to discover the secrets of the small farm--secrets much darker than she would have guessed. Soon, she must decide whether to take drastic action to help them, or risk losing a life-changing battle.

Necessary Lies
is the story of these two young women, seemingly worlds apart, but both haunted by tragedy. Jane and Ivy are thrown together and must ask themselves: How can you know what you believe is right, when everyone is telling you it's wrong?

Love it
Color: Royal Blue Gold, Size: X-Large, Color: Royal Blue Gold, Size: X-Large
Light and fits perfectly. I bought this size1X for my 14 year old 6 ft3 225lb son. He has a bit of a belly and is kind of built like a football player. The pants don’t have pockets but they do have an elastic wast with a drawstring which makes a comfortable fit and no need for a belt. The length is perfect for his height and stops right at the ankles to accentuate the shoes. The top is also perfect for the length of his arms and torso. The sleeves stop a little below the wrist which is great for movement. The neckline is fitted and he can button it all the way up unlike other fancy shirts and without restrictions . The fabric is soft and the design on the front looks like a very good quality and is very secure. Over all I’d rate it a 5/5 for quality and fit. I recommend this to anyone big and tall.

This outfit was a gift for a friend. She always wears it when she has important events related to her association. The fabric is very lightweight, but it isn't see-through. Recommended.
