An Illinois woman has filed a potential class action against the author and publisher of “Three Cups of Tea,” a memoir about the author’s journey through rural Pakistan that has recently been attacked as partly fictitious.  The plaintiff says readers “did not get what they paid for, but instead, were wrongly induced by each of the defendants to buy a phony and fictional story as opposed to the truth.”  The author denies any wrongdoing and stands by his book.
