Damon hasn't read the lesbian western yet, but he skimmed it and noticed that an awful lot of the things characters do depend on the lie they're using to cope with the world. Some characters lie to themselves; Len in particular lies to the world in order to best live with herself.
His first stab at a title, better than all the ones I've come up with so far, is A Lie Worth Living With.
I think he's put me on the right track here, but that title says "contemporary" to me, not "historical" or "western."
It might be good enough for a working title to use on the query, though.
