Mobi Diamond Doris: The True Story of the World's Most Notorious Jewel Thief with FREE EASY Reading Download Now!

Soon to be a Major Motion PictureIn the ebullient spirit of Ocean’s 8, The Heist, and Thelma & 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 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 as Catch Me if You Can and Can You Ever Forgive Me?—Diamond Doris is the portrait of a captivating anti-hero who refused to be defined by the prejudices and mores of a hypocritical society.

Can you imagine? A woman sets out, as far back as her youth, to become a jewel thief. This doesn’t exactly fall in the category of dream careers but then Doris Payne is not your typical young woman. She writes about her wild ride in her memoir, written with Zelda Lockhart, DIAMOND DORIS: THE TRUE STORY OF THE WORLD’S MOST NOTORIOUS JEWEL THIEF. Growing up in the segregated south, the tough times of an unpredictable coal-mining town in a broken home with a father who she watched repeatedly abuse her mother, and already feeling the cruelty of racial inequality at a young age, Doris figured out that she wasn’t going to stand for it. But her way to fight back certainly wasn’t ethical.She saw sparkly diamonds and she wanted them. Not small trinkets. We’re talking many carats. Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Garrard & Co. She escaped her small town and started slowly, methodically, hitting the big cities. And, when nearby Cleveland, then Philadelphia, and on to New York City and Los Angeles proved too tired, she found her way to Monte Carlo, Paris, London, Rome, and beyond. Doris looked at fashion magazine ads for inspiration – saw a diamond piece that she had to have, and she grabbed it. Literally.Did Doris ever get caught? You must read the book and find out. With each turn of the page, you might need to pick your jaw up off the floor in wonder how she pulled off each heist. Her nerve, her willingness to risk so much and the fact that this little lady could walk right into the most fashionable stores in the world and take such exquisite pieces right out from under the noses of the jewelers makes her put the Oceans 8 gang to shame. Yet, she had no shame. Still doesn’t.
