Thirteen-year-old Ivy Hart will melt your heart with her view of the world and what is going on around her. As a child growing up in 1958 on a tobacco farm in North Carolina, poor, naive and at the age where she is not quite a woman and not quite a child, Ivy tells of the events surrounding the birth of her unmarried sister's child in a time when this is one of the greatest taboos of society.With The First Lie, Author Diane Chamberlain allows Ivy to tell her story in her own words and with her own voice, adding to the charm, enchantment and emotional power of this short read, while leaving the reader eager for "the rest of the story."This review copy was provided by NetGalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for my honest review.Publish Date: June 4, 2013Publisher: St. Martin's PressNumber of Pages: 35ISBN: 1466839406 (ISBN13: 9781466839403)Genre: Women's FictionMy Rating: 5 Stars
