Description
2015 Finalist in the Next Generation Indie Awards Best Fiction Novel
Evolved Publishing presents an intimate glance inside teenage angst and confusion, and one talented but troubled girl's attempt to make sense of life, in the coming-of-age tale, "White Chalk," by award-winning author Pavarti K. Tyler. [Literary, New Adult, Women's Fiction] ~~~ Chelle isn't what most people consider a typical 13-year-old girl-she doesn't laugh with friends, play sports, or hang out at the mall after school. Instead, she navigates a world well beyond her years. ~~~ Life in Dawson, ND spins on as she grasps at people, pleading for someone to save her-to return her to the simple childhood of unicorns on her bedroom wall and stories on her father's knee. ~~~ When Troy Christiansen walks into her life, Chelle is desperate to believe his arrival will be her salvation. So much so, she forgets to save herself. After experiencing a tragedy at school, her world begins to crack, causing a deeper scar in her already fragile psyche. ~~~ Follow Chelle's twisted tale of modern adolescence, as she travels down the rabbit hole into a reality none of us wants to admit actually exists.
Advance Praise
"Tyler combines shades of 'Lolita' and 'Catcher in the Rye' in a completely new way, drawing you in with poignant characterizations. 'White Chalk' goes deep into teenage angst with understanding and clarity. Savor, share, and use this poignant book as a primer on the brutal effects of abuse, neglect, and self-esteem." ~ Rachel Thompson, Award-Winning Author of "Broken Pieces"
