A compelling and visceral story that touches the depths of human hearts. Based on a true encounter by the author, H.O.WARD, presents his character Doris as a homeless vagabond on the streets of London in 1966, where she has the misfortune to fall ill and taken to hospital by her street friend Harry. It is Harry who continues the story of Doris, a tender and caring Queen Alexandra Nurse, telling of her journey through military training in Inverarary, Scotland, her experience of war torn Italy in Anzio, and her romance in Florence, before her forced return to London, England. As with all lives, they should not be judged on the merits of the surroundings in which the person is first encountered, but by the complete understanding and quality of the person, if they should then be judged at all. Read what can only be described as a sensitive walk through the life of a lovely lady, with its highs and heart-wrenching lows.
"Doris er ingen kvinne. Den absurde tanken på at noen en gang skal omtale henne som dame, kan få henne til å bryte ut i høy, hånlig latter. Doris vet hva hun er. Folk må ikke tro at hun ikke skjønner at de betrakter henne, her hun står og ruver midt i glaningen på yachtens tak, stygg og deilig, det avhenger av hvem som ser". Den 14-årige Doris og hennes far Roy Arne Holmås er på ferie et sted langs Norges vestkyst i en yacht på over femti fot, også den kalt Doris. Doris og faren har latt moren Bella og resten av reisefølget sitt i stikken og seiler tilsynelatende planløst rundt på havet. Tenåringen Doris bærer med seg motvilje og ambivalens på reisen, både mot foreldrene og mot livet på sjøen, mens hun jakter på mobildekning og drømmer om gjensynet med sin tretten år eldre flamme, Jimmy. Hvilke planer har egentlig den uforutsigbare faren hennes? Hvor skal de? Og hvor lenge har han tenkt at de skal være på reise? "Doris" er en skarp skildring av tenåringslivet og et far-datter-forhold i ubalanse, på samme tid humoristisk og sår. Det er en varm og nådeløs beretning om å være under kontinuerlig oppsyn og om til stadighet å ha et blikk utenfra på seg selv.

In 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 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 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.
