A father wrote down everything he wanted his daughter to know — before he might not be there to say it.
The world is not all kind. There are good and true people in it, but there are also a great many who are not — who will smile to your face and work against you behind your back, who are charming when it serves them and cold when it doesn't, who will take what they can and step over whomever they must. How do you send a daughter into that world strong enough to stand in it, clear-sighted enough not to be fooled — and good enough not to become like the very people who would harm her?
What No One Can Steal is one father's answer: part field guide to a difficult world, part letter of love. In thirty-four short chapters, Dr. Shibu Valsalan gives his daughter — and yours — the things he most wants her to carry:
- That she was born enough. Her worth is not earned and cannot be stolen; everything else is built on that.
- How to see clearly. Read people by what they do, not what they say. Recognize the smile that hides a knife. Trust slowly, trust few — and when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
- How to stand strong. Be bold, not loud. Learn the word no. Don't shrink to fit. And know that your body is yours, the line around it yours alone to draw.
- How to stay straight in a crooked world — and why integrity is worth its real cost, even when the dishonest prosper.
- The one thing no one can ever take from you: a furnished mind. They can steal your money, your comfort, even your good name for a season — but what you have learned, by your own effort, no thief has ever found a way to remove. Make the building of your mind the great work of your young years.
- How to survive what the world will send — betrayal, failure, and the deepest danger of all: becoming hard, becoming what hurt you. Stay good in full sight of evil. That is the greatest strength there is.
Tender but unflinching, What No One Can Steal is a book to be read slowly and returned to often — a father's voice in your corner, reminding you to keep your eyes open and your heart open both, to build the mind no one can steal, and to go out into a world that is not all kind and be in it the strong and good and unbreakable thing you already are.
For every daughter setting out — and every parent who wants to send something with her.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

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.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 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
