Made-up memoir of gang life blasted

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/books/04fake.html
Once again, another writer publishes "a memoir" that is false.
Motoko Rich of the NYT reports the following:
"In 'Love and Consequences," a critically acclaimed memoir published last week, Margaret B. Jones wrote about her life as a half-white, half-Native American girl growing up in South-Central Los Angeles as a foster child among gang-bangers, running drugs for the Bloods.
The problem is that none of it is true."
