Introducing:
CHALK WHITE FEAR by Linda Bryant Richardson tells the story of a child kidnapped and raised by a serial killer. It tells of the strengths this highly intelligent child pulled from within to form the survival mechanisms that kept her alive throughout her childhood.
A little character background: Many years ago, a band of easily led misfits traveled to an uninhabited area such as in the Southern United States. Their queen/leader possessed a cold cruel heart and mystical powers. She planted a small tree and chanted until the tree and twenty foot around it became cursed with powers that only she understood. After the queen’s death, the band of misfits gradually either died or moved away. One couple stayed, built a home and attempted to lead a normal life.
Years passed;
In the modern day setting, a young couple settles on the same land. They are not bothered by the strange things that happen in and around the home or the dominating appearance of the tree. Later one of these characters kidnaps a toddler, bringing her home to be a companion to her daughter. The tree became magnificent and spellbinding. This child was not easily influenced by the cursed tree, nor was she aware of the curse’s frustrated constant attempts to capture and kill her. It was all she could manage not to anger the woman she called mother.
The question is: Can this child survive?

About the author of CHALK WHITE FEAR
I was born in Tucson, Arizona and
moved to East Texas with my parents at the age of three. After attending high school and having my
family, I attended a community college in Dallas County, Texas. I raised my family east of Dallas County and
moved to Central Texas in 2002.
I
gave birth to four wonderful children. I
am the proud grandparent of nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Through my children, I learned to be a parent. I learned to accept love. Through my youngest child, I learned patience
and love without conditions. Through
life experiences, I found a faith uniquely mine. My life is not loaded with initials, labels
and accomplishments. For me, each day is new, unique, and stands on its own.
Writing has been a lifetime hobby. I have written many poems and short stories. I finally decided to put my dream of writing
a book into action, and CHALK WHITE FEAR came naturally into being.
Description of CHALK WHITE FEAR
A helpless and frightened little
girl faces many threatening events. She
is sharing her bedroom with snakes every night with her only escape route being
a room occupied by something worse, her abuser.
Outside her window offers the terrifying tree that she watches each
night as the dead bodies swing, and she cannot close her ears to the screams of
their unforgotten terrors. Even if she
could make it past the tree, she would have to deal with the strangely dressed
men and women who wander through the woods and occasionally into her line of
vision. Sally’s two greatest fears are of the tree outside her window and her
abuser.
A
point in time comes and she breaks. She
cannot endure her situation any longer.
Trapped, she cannot leave. The
happenings of Sally’s childhood ultimately cause her personality to split in
order to survive. As a split
personality, Sally is stronger, yet horrifying events follow horrifying
events. The only source of kindness for
Sally is her father, who finally succumbs and joins the taunting cruelties of
her abuser.
Sally
grows into a smart and strong teenager who eventually escapes her tormentors.
She begins walking and walks until she collapses on the side of the road. An
older couple picks her up and takes her straight to the hospital. When she
wakes she does not know who or where she is.
Her new life begins as Saullie, and she lives normally for a few
years. Then by chance, she finds herself
drawn back into the horrors of her youth.
Saullie
(Sally) barely survives again. There is
second breakdown for Saullie and then a time of peace. Parts of her past come back. Events pass and then it looks like it may be
the end for Saullie and her family.
About the author & comments
Author Linda Bryant Richardson opens her writing career with Chalk
White Fear, a suspenseful drama in which a young girl, Sally, is kidnapped
by a serial killer. Sally was a happy, chubby toddler before her loving
grandmother was murdered and she was stolen away to be a companion to the
killer's daughter. Raised by such a spiteful and erratic woman who would fly
into a rage for no reason and treated as a pet by her pseudo-sister who took
pleasure in seeing her punished, the young girl struggled to merely survive her
childhood. She feared mornings. Inevitably her 'mother' would find some fault
to hurt her throughout the day. She feared the nights. Living in a cruel world,
each mystery in the darkness was another terror. Her only safe haven was
escape, from the house, from the world, from herself.
A smooth read, Chalk White Fear captures the audiences' focus and keeps each person captivated until the
end. "The book is clean, no bad words or sex, but keep(s) you on the
edge of your chair, wondering what (is) going to happen next. I could hardly
lay it down," Virginia Belk said on Facebook after reading Richardson's
novel. "What I liked most about the book (is that it) was so easy to
read." Richardson began this story ten years ago with one paragraph
on a floppy disk. She is finally achieving her dream of publishing Chalk White Fear through self-publishing with Xlibris. A signed copy of Chalk White Fear can be ordered directly from the
