Margaret B. Jones

Margaret Seltzer is an American author who is notable for writing a fake memoir about growing up in South Central Los Angeles in February 2008. The book, entitled Love and Consequences: A Memoir of Hope and Survival, chronicled her alleged experiences growing up half white, half Native American as a foster child and Bloods gang member in South Central Los Angeles. Almost immediately after publication, the book was proven to be completely fictitious. Seltzer was revealed to have grown up with her two white biological parents in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks. She had also attended Campbell Hall, an Episcopalian day school in the North Hollywood area of Los Angeles.
