I'm all for it.
The stories that pull at the heart-strings are the best ones.
While it's certainly a contrivance, I think the message is what's important. After all, aren't all non-fiction stories merely constructs that are used to make a point of some kind?
That it's "dishonest" makes it no different from the novels you pick up at your local bookstore.
