The Lies We Told: A Collection of Short Stories and Other Sad Poems

Description

Somewhere in Nebraska, there’s a mother on her knees, praying that her baby makes it through the night. Meanwhile, halfway across the world, a little boy withers away in a third world hospital. And while a group of soldiers are busy fighting for their lives in Iraq, a teenage girl is being burned alive in the trunk of her boyfriend’s car.

These are the unforgettable stories of the people no one ever bothered to remember. A public eulogy to their private struggles and a silent requiem to the lives they touched.

These are the stories we were told not to talk about in front of company.

The ugly truth hiding behind the lies we told.
