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?

Convenient.
Size: 1 X Pack of 180
Bought this product so many times over. Keep them stocked for special occasions as well as casual BBQ with friends. I use them to take as a hostess gift at other BBQ's, because everyone can use them. They do not bend like the other brands. The tray with the snap-on lid makes it easy use then store away.

Let me pre-empt this with I’m single and travel a ton, so dishes and silverware don’t suit my lifestyle (don’t judge me I’m here to help) so these can be used just as well as stainless or silver cutlery. Very durable. Beware that they may show up with the lid not in tact, causing a small or moderate amount of them to bridge the container. Still, very much worth it.

High Quality
Size: 1 X Pack of 180
I'm so happy with this purchase because this set is very high quality and sturdy. I also like the container it comes in because it's very convenient to set out on a table for guests. I don't quite understand why there are less knives than forks because if you use this for a get together, most people will take one of each, so then you're left with a lot of forks. But then that container comes in handy for storing them! :)
