Sometimes it takes half a lifetime to realize the one you love was there all along. Young Livy Hubbard and Brian Carowack meet on the playground in Tolford, Tennessee, in 1956. Livy is cocooned in a world of wealth and privilege. Brian comes from a broken home and grows up poor. The years pass, and they go their separate ways - Livy to an Ivy League university, where she becomes an active part of the groundbreaking sixties - Brian to college on a basketball scholarship, only to drop out sophomore year. In spite of their divergent lives, they always stay in touch. And then one fateful day, their parallel worlds come together again. A novel that journeys across three decades, from Tennessee to California to New York, Necessary Changes is about friendship, second chances, and becoming older and wiser. It is about the decisions that shape our lives and about the courage to change - both ourselves and the future. This ebook features an extended biography of Mary Kay McComas.
