4.0

The First Lie (Necessary Lies #0.5) by Diane Chamberlain

In preparation for the audiobook, Necessary Lies, I read the short story, The First Lie, which introduces us to characters in the novel that follows. Thirteen year old Ivy is confused how the local social worker knows her fifteen year old sister, in early labor, will need surgery for a health issue, right after she has her baby. The First Lie is our first introduction to a real life state wide mandated program that was forced on those who could not fight back.
