I just returned after over a week away from home to find a parcel waiting at my doorstep. When I opened it, I jumped for joy.

It’s one of the only available copies of Margaret B. Jones’s Love & Consequences, the gang memoir that was recalled from bookstores for being fake. I hope to blog the book, which tells the story of how Jones (in reality a middle-class Valley girl) lived a life worthy of Dr. Dre. It duped the New York publishing world.
