ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain is a poignant historical novel set in 1960s North Carolina, exploring the dark legacy of the state's Eugenics Program. The story follows Jane Forrester, a social worker assigned to the case of Ivy Hart, a young woman from a poor tobacco-farming family. Jane faces a moral dilemma as Ivy’s life is shaped by forced sterilization and other injustices. The novel tackles themes of systemic control, social inequality, personal sacrifice, and the impact of historical policies on individuals. It delves into the emotional conflicts between professional duty and personal compassion.
