What if you could meet your parents…when they were your age?
Stealing Time is a sharp, funny, and emotionally rich time-travel crime mystery packed with heart, humor, and high stakes.
New York City, 2020
Fifteen-year-old Tori’s world is falling apart. Her parents are separating. She and her mother are moving out of state. And she’s just discovered a family secret involving a magnificent yellow diamond and her grandfather, whose arrest forty years before shattered her family.
New York City, 1980
An urban jungle still reeling from near-bankruptcy, filled with garbage, graffiti and crime. No internet. No cell phones but plenty of phone booths. And for fifteen-year-old Bobby, no clue what to do about the strange girl in his apartment who knows way too much about his family–because, she explains, she’s his daughter. From the future. Together, they’ll have to solve a mystery, outwit dangerous criminals, and prevent the jewelry heist of the decade.
But the real discovery? Sometimes the best way to fix your broken present is to understand your family's past.
A coming-of-age story, a second-chance adventure, and a time-traveling twist on a classic caper, Stealing Time is perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to understand where they came from—and where they’re going.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Diamond, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
