Necessary lies. [large print] Diane Chamberlain.
After losing her parents, fifteen year old Ivy Hart is left to care for her grandmother, older sister and nephew as tenants on a small tobacco farm. 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, North Carolina's newest social worker, she doesn't realize how much her help is needed. She becomes emotionally invested in her clients' lives, causing tension with her boss and her new husband. But as Jane is drawn in by the Hart women, she begins to discover secrets much darker than she could have guessed.
