The book, entitled Love and Consequences: A Memoir of Hope and Survival,[1] chronicled her alleged experiences growing up half white, half Native American as a foster child and Bloods gang member in South Central Los Angeles.
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.
[2][3][4][5] While promoting the book during radio interviews with WBUR's On Point and NPR's Tell Me More, Seltzer spoke with an African American Vernacular dialect and frequently referred to alleged gang friends as "homies" and "my home girl".
[6][7][8] The book received a number of prominent reviews in various publications, including The New York Times.
