It's fiction people. That's why it's in the fiction aisle. It's also not the first novel to claim bits of truth for artistic purposes. The only reason that this book gets people riled up and "The Bridges of Madison County" (for instance) doesn't is that the former deals with religious topics.
Great googly moogly, folks. It's an artistic device. Take a deep breath.
