Riverhead Books is recalling all copies of “Love and Consequences," a memoir about a half-Native girl who grew up amid gangs and violence in Los Angeles, after its author was revealed to be a fraud.
Author Margaret B. Jones is really Margaret Seltzer, a 33-year-old white woman who was raised by her biological family in an affluent area of the city. She admitted to The New York Times that she fabricated her claims of being a Native foster child in an African-American family.
Jones' story unraveled after the Times published a glowing profile and positive review of the book, which was due on shelves today. Jones' biological sister recognized her photo and contacted the Riverhead Books to tell them the truth.
