LaDon's Lost Diamond is Jim Reames' tale about his own wife and (real life) immediate family, living in the remote community of Middleton, Idaho where a battle of the sexes is started between The Lady Vikings (a group of ex-high school cheerleaders) who match wits with Jake (the local, male chauvinist, barber). In this, part fiction, part non-fiction story, a homeless drifter called Dr. J, has come to Middleton who quickly exploits the emotions, creating a laughing uproar that's impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, a famous New York private detective, Paul Roberts, is in town hunting for Dr. J, who in real life if a multi-millionaire in hiding. At the same time a local pilot, Bill Hadley, has taken in a troubled teenager, Roberta, with his intent to teach her how to fly straight and level as a pilot, then as a human being. Romance blossoms as winter turns to spring, then into summer. This Christian novel was written with the full intent of taking the reader's mind away from current day politics, economic struggles, the fear of terrorism. Mature enough for adults and innocient enough for children. It will simply make you laugh until you cry
