I just saw it on the Google News feed earlier today. The story was about someone faking her memoirs, but the headline was too good to resist posting here.

Is that the one about a woman who claimed her parents were killed by Nazis and all that during WWII? I read an article about it on Yahoo too, and she had invented this "reality" that she lived in. The woman who ghost-wrote the book was just floored by the revelation that it wasn't real. She said the person told the stories so convincingly, but apparently it was all a delusion.
Sad really...but great headline!

No, that was a different faked memoir, apparently. They were both exposed in the course of about a week.
