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.

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.
