Easy to read , interesting memoir about an international jewel thief.
Doris Payne, a poor black girl, grew up in Slab Fork, West Virginia. She learned at a young age that she had a talent - the ability to manipulate others. By dressing and talking like a high class women, she was able to steal millions in diamonds, emeralds, and jewelry.
