Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 39

This is the issue in which we promised your neighbor’s secrets would be exposed. Your secrets too. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news: the secrets, they have been exposed. Check CNN right now. Or, look under that thing at the back of your fridge. The list of neighborhood secrets should be there on a very small piece of paper we are very proud to have folded 12 times. Some people find the 9th through 12th folds difficult, but these wristlets, they really make the difference. Fiction, poetry, a little nonfiction (including a lovely recipe for pickled kumquats), and an absurd amount of hope and despair.
