Oak Street Merchant Helps Tenured Cynic Launch Hopeful Book

Blue Cypress Books taking pre-orders for The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture

Baton Rouge, LA — June 6, 2023 — Blue Cypress Books in the New Orleans Riverbend neighborhood 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 learning her pacifist father is cited in two books for challenging David Duke with a bloody knife at LSU.

“In the latter chapters of our incredible journey,” author Jeremy White says, “New Orleans hosts happy reunions at Oktoberfest, Greek Fest, and Mardi Gras. Readers learn about the krewes of Muses, Bacchus, Thoth, and Box of Wine. Same goes for the 610 Stompers and Mr. Bingle.” White adds, “Blue Cypress Books is an equally authentic New Orleans institution, and we’re thrilled to be partnered with the good folks there.”
