Ballast Book Company taking pre-orders for The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture
Baton Rouge, LA — June 1, 2023 — Ballast Book Company in downtown Bremerton, Washington, has partnered with White Lines Press in launching Jeremy White’s upcoming debut book about his wife discovering her biological family in 2018 and the insanely beautiful, transformational journey that ensued. The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery details how Edie White solved a 65-year-old mystery that plagued a Ukrainian American family near Chicago, after initially finding immediate family in the Seattle suburb of Renton.
“With titles such as ‘Touchdown Seattle,’ ‘Bothell,’ and ‘Port Angeles,’ four chapters cover two of our trips to the Pacific Northwest,” author Jeremy White says, “and we are excited to be partnered with Ballast Book Company. We recently learned about—and visited—Ballast while scoping out Bremerton as a potential place to live. As I explain to readers, Edie and I absolutely fell in love with the area, which is really neat since that’s the same reason Kate Larson recently moved back to the Kitsap Peninsula and bought Ballast Book Company.”

Larson told The Kitsap Sun in October 2021, “The goal was always to come back here.” Originally from Minnesota, Larson has more than a decade of bookselling experience, including her tenure as founding manager of Ballast Book Company, dating back to its origin as a pop-up. In 2018, she and her partner moved to Connecticut, where Larson managed the indie bookstore Bank Square Books in Mystic. Three years later, she returned to Washington and bought out her former employer.
Ballast Book Company is located in downtown Bremerton at 409 Pacific Avenue (Unit 202). After undergoing recent renovations, the indie bookstore is open seven days a week, and can be found online at BallastBookCo.com.
White Lines Press is publishing the 468-page hardcover edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture on July 1, but readers can pre-order signed copies at LittleGirlBook.com, where 1 in 20 customers will win a signed “lagniappe” copy. Signed hardcover editions are also available through partnered indie bookstores around the country. For more information and resources, visit our media center. Inquiries should be sent to media@redstickcomedy.com.
