Rosenblat, who survived the Holocaust as a young boy, had written a memoir telling the story of meeting his wife of 50 years when she was a farm girl who tossed apples over the fence at a concentration camp. Then, claimed Herman, he met Mrs. R. 12 years later on a blind date. Well, lovely though it was, the story was made up, and now the memoir is being yanked — and Oprah is once again red-faced over a story she championed very publicly.
Oprah gushed over James Frey's alleged memoir "A Million LIttle Pieces," only to find it was faked."

Who cares if it is true or not?? If it is a good book then read it... if not then don't- the difference between James Frey's book and this one is this was called a Memoir which means it is BASED on a true story- Frey tried to make it like a biography or something.

With entertainment shows like Oprah, it's the story that matters, not the veracity of it. Like she says, it was "the single greatest love story". Who cares that they made it up? Why does it matter?

true love and love the way people wish it were are two different things, i think. one is more beautiful because it could be real?
