Baton Rouge, LA — July 31, 2023 — Multiple newspapers have dedicated many column inches to covering Jeremy White’s new memoir about his wife, Edie, finding her biological family in 2018 and the beautifully insane story that ensued. One day after the launch of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery, the July 2 edition of The Sunday Advocate included a report on the tenured cynic’s hopeful book.

More recently, Edie White’s hometown newspaper ran a full-page, full-color feature on her and the book in which she’s the hero. Kevin Fambrough’s in-depth coverage in the July 20 edition of The Pointe Coupee Banner features several photos, including some taken during a launch event at Cavalier House Books. That’s where Fambrough interviewed the 1988 valedictorian of Catholic High School-Pointe Coupee for his report.

Edie White’s hometown newspaper ran a full-page, full-color feature on her and the book in which she’s the hero.

Readers of The Little Girl learn how, literally overnight, the baby of Edie’s adopted family becomes the eldest sibling in a new, amazing family, fathered by a pacifist cited in two books for challenging David Duke at LSU with a bloody knife. During her pre-COVID travels with Jeremy to Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and California wine country, Edie ultimately solves the last of three mysteries presented to her: What happened to the little girl at the bottom of the picture? It’s a question that plagued an enthusiastic horde of gangster-adjacent Ukrainian Americans in northwest Indiana for more than 65 years.

The Pointe Coupee Banner began operation in 1880 and has published without interruption during wartime eras and numerous natural disasters. Meanwhile, The Advocate is a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper with the largest circulation among all dailies in Louisiana.

White Lines Press published the 468-page hardcover edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture on July 1. Signed editions are available at LittleGirlBook.com and through partnered indie bookstores around the country. For more information and resources, visit our media center.

Jeremy White discusses impact of writing The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture

Jeremy and Edie White atop Rattlesnake Ridge with the Cascades in the background

Talk 107.3 FM host Brian Haldane caught up with author Jeremy White to talk about his new book, The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery. Originally airing on July 7, the 12.5-minute radio segment represents White’s first appearance on the station to discuss the hopeful memoir about his wife, Edie, discovering her biological family in 2018 and the beautifully insane adventure that ensued.

“All of that source material sort of gave me a peephole into Edie’s point of view along the way,” the author explains, “and it really, really forced me to empathize with my wife. It’s like that ‘Running Up That Hill’ song by Kate Bush; it’s about that empathetic swapping of perspectives.”

The two old friends discuss White’s debut book, its early success, and the impact that it’s already having on readers. Haldane and his listeners also learn how Edie’s pacifist birth father, John Hart, is cited in two books for challenging David Duke with a bloody knife at LSU. White then shares his experience writing this deeply personal story about his wife  of over thirty years. “All of that source material sort of gave me a peephole into Edie’s point of view along the way,” the author explains, “and it really, really forced me to empathize with my wife. It’s like that ‘Running Up That Hill’ song by Kate Bush; it’s about that empathetic swapping of perspectives.”

Mornings With Brian Haldane airs live on weekdays from 6-9 a.m. on Talk 107.3 FM, WBRP, in Baton Rouge. Haldane regularly interviews newsmakers from the political world and beyond. Listeners can hear White’s interview from July 7 on the show’s archive.

Jeremy White is a tenured cynic who penned this hopeful book. He founded South Louisiana’s premier satirical publication in 2004, eight years before relaunching the award-winning Red Shtick Magazine as its all-digital progeny, The Red Shtick. The passionate Cajun can often be heard on various popular radio shows as either a guest or a guest host. A longtime football official and Mardi Gras krewe captain, Jeremy earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at LSU, where he and Edie met. They’ve been happily married since 1992 and live in Baton Rouge with their cat, Waffles.

White Lines Press (an imprint of Red Stick Comedy, LLC) published the 468-page hardcover edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture on July 1.

Author Jeremy White talks to Jim Engster about John Hart’s encounter with David Duke at LSU

Talk Louisiana host Jim Engster brought back author Jeremy White to discuss his new book, The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery. Originally airing on June 28, the six-minute radio segment represents White’s second appearance on the show to talk about his hopeful memoir detailing how his wife, Edie, who was adopted at birth and raised by a loving family, discovered her biological family after altruistically submitting her DNA in early 2018.

Much more so than in his April 17 appearance with Engster, White gets to tell listeners about Edie’s birth father, John Hart, a devout pacifist who made headlines for challenging David Duke with a bloody knife. Occuring while Hart was “getting his Ph.D. in wokeness at LSU,” White says the incident “might be in the top 10 most interesting things about John Hart.” The debut author also divulges plans for a future spin-off book about his wife’s father, one White would write with the help of Edie’s newfound baby brother in Renton, WA.
