So, who published Carson's "autobiography" anyway? Have they issued a statement?
It seems like publishers have gotten in a bit of hot water trying to pawn off fiction as fact in other instances. I'm guessing there's some nervous editor out there, assuming he or she has not yet retired.

ghost written. Would that explain it?
