"Payne''s storytelling voice is easy and intimate. . . .You want to cheer for Payne. . . . She''s stolen yet another thing. Your heart." —New York TimesSoon to be a Major Motion PictureGrowing 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. Doris vowed to turn the tables after the owner of a jewelry store threw her out when a white customer arrived.Using her southern charm, quick wit, and fascination with magic, 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.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 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 Doris, who cleverly used various ruses to break out. With her arrest in 2013 in San Diego, Doris''s fame skyrocketed.Thrilling and rip-roaringly fun, Diamond Doris is the portrait of a captivating anti-hero who refused to be defined by the prejudices of a hypocritical society."Engaging reading about an elegant modern-day Robin Hood." —Kirkus Reviews"Astonishing. . . . [A] sassy catch me-if-you-can told from a Black female''s perspective." —Booklist, starred review

The Hurston-Wright Award Finalist makes her long-awaited return with this electrifying multi-generational family saga—as moving and indelible as The Twelve Tribes of Hattie, The Turner House, and The Love Songs of W. E. B. DuBois—that explores three generations of a family trying to overcome trials and trauma and free themselves from the darkness of the past.Lottie Rebecca Lee is spoken into the world in Fayetteville, North Carolina by a Black nurse who declares, “Lord Jesus, if that ain’t the blackest little baby born this side of heaven.” Later, Lottie will prove that she is the ancestors’ promise to unearth the Mississippi and Ghanaian atrocities that have tormented Benjamin Lee, her grandfather who was born during the Great Depression in Mississippi’s red clay tobacco fields of the Jim Crow South, and Benjamin Junior, his son and Lottie Rebecca’s father, born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where the post Korean War GI Bill promises prosperity. These two generations of men are haunted by the Mother-Spirit who did not survive enslavement’s post-traumatic stress violence. This powerful work of African American historical fiction, Trinity , is the riveting story of the daughter-spirit born to stitch love back into the scattered wombs of her Black mothers and call love back into the fishing blues songs of her Black male kin. Lottie Rebecca Lee is the Divine spirited daughter born to set everything back up right again, in this daringly original novel about ancestral healing.
