I could have told you this story was a total crock only having read the summary. Author's 'Love and Consequences' memoir untrue - USATODAY.com "Margaret (Peggy) Seltzer of Eugene, Ore., who wrote under the name Margaret B. Jones, acknowledges that her critically acclaimed account of being raised in a black foster home in South-Central Los Angeles and following her black foster brothers into the gang life was a fabrication.

The publisher explained in a statement released Tuesday that before publication, Seltzer provided evidence to support her story, including 'photographs, letters; parts of Peggy's life story in another published book; Peggy's story had been supported by one of her former professors; Peggy even introduced the agent to people who misrepresented themselves as her foster siblings.'"
