Review: JUST THE FIRST COURSE....
Rating: 5 out of 5

In the North Carolina of 1958, Ivy Hart's world, events unfolded mysteriously during and after the birth of Ivy's sister's baby.  Only fifteen, and somewhat limited in her functioning, Mary Ella has maintained her silence about who fathered her baby.But the paternity was not the only secret kept that night and afterwards.  That was onlyThe First Lie.Those events would be significant for many years to come, and this prequel is just enough of a teaser to really whet my appetite.  I had already orderedNecessary Lieswhen I found out about this short "novella."  So, of course I had to read it.  Five stars.
