Well I just finished reading Thieves at heart (btw tell your wife Vincent said it was enjoyable), and I think that in some ways that little girl you have on the cover might be fitting. Definitely a coming of age story, with some topics that a parent probably would not want at 12 yr old reading about (though the main character stars off probably younger then that). Based on reading the story I might have suggested portraying a scene with Tav stealing something, or perhaps her "pa" handing her that sword. BUT if you use that image of her, please be sure to mention something on the back and in the blurb about it being targeted to at least mid-teen and higher because she looks cute like a early readers book cover.
I do think the artist captured her look well though....
