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.
