That is, until his daughter turned to TikTok for help. She created an account named after her father\u2019s book \u2014 \u201cStone Maidens\u201d \u2014 in the hopes that creating a video telling her dad\u2019s story would help shed some light on his creative project. Within just four days, her video has racked up over 41 million views and counting. The heartfelt clip explains that, although he put his family first, he always managed to make time for his book, too. Now, decades later, \u201cStone Maidens\u201d is the talk of the town and has even soared to the #1 Best-Seller list on Amazon in \u2018Police Procedurals.\u2019 Daughter makes dad\u2019s book go viral on TikTok That\u2019s not all \u2014 it even sold out within 24 hours thanks to the community over on TikTok, who are praising Richards and his daughter for their newfound achievements. \u201cIt\u2019s currently unavailable and number one on Amazon!\u201d one user wrote. \u201cCongrats to him!\u201d \u201cMoments like this are why I stay on this app,\u201d another said. \u201cThe love and generosity from people is astounding. There is definitely more good than evil.\u201d Richards\u2019 daughter went on to thank TikTok for propelling her dad\u2019s book to fame.
