Editor's Note
Lies: A Chorus is a fairy tale in reverse in which class, race and gender reveal painful truths about upward mobility in our modern society.

Faustina's Upward Fall is a humorous allegory dramatizing the lengths to which one writer, Faustina Cohen, will go to be published. I've cried with April Carter, ached with Faustina, and both mourned and rejoiced with Shirley Stone.
