توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
In the ebullient spirit ofOcean’s 8, The
Heist, andThelma & Louise, a sensational and
entertaining memoir of the world’s most notorious jewel thief—a
woman who defied society’s prejudices and norms to carve her
own path, stealing from elite jewelers to live her
dreams.
Growing up during the Depression in the segregated coal town of
Slab Fork, West Virginia, Doris Payne was told her dreams were
unattainable for poor black girls like her. Surrounded by
people who sought to limit her potential, Doris vowed to turn
the tables after the owner of a jewelry store threw her out
when a white customer arrived. Neither racism nor poverty would
hold her back; she would get what she wanted and help her
mother escape an abusive relationship.
Using her southern charm, quick wit, and fascination with magic
as her tools, Payne began shoplifting small pieces of jewelry
from local stores. Over the course of six decades, her talents
grew with each heist. Becoming an expert world-class jewel
thief, she daringly pulled off numerous diamond robberies and
her Jewish boyfriend fenced the stolen gems to Hollywood
celebrities.
Doris’s criminal exploits went unsolved well into the
1970s—partly because the stores did not want to admit that they
were duped by a black woman. Eventually realizing Doris was
using him, her boyfriend turned her in. She was arrested after
stealing a diamond ring in Monte Carlo that was valued at more
than half a million dollars. But even prison couldn’t contain
this larger-than-life personality who cleverly used nuns as
well as various ruses to help her break out. With her arrest in
2013 in San Diego, Doris’s fame skyrocketed when media coverage
of her astonishing escapades exploded.
Today, at eighty-seven, Doris, as bold and vibrant as ever,
lives in Atlanta, and is celebrated for her glamorous legacy.
She sums up her adventurous career best: “It beat being a
teacher or a maid.” A rip-roaringly fun and exciting story as
captivating and audacious asCatch Me if You
CanandCan You Ever Forgive Me?—Diamond Dorisis
the portrait of a captivating anti-hero who refused to be
defined by the prejudices and mores of a hypocritical
society.
