Author Jeremy White launches The Little Girl Book Podcast in lieu of audiobook
Baton Rouge, LA — January 2, 2024 — White Lines Press has launched The Little Girl Book Podcast in lieu of a traditional audiobook, allowing author Jeremy White to publicly share the story about his wife, Edie, 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 mystery that had been plaguing a gangster-adjacent, Ukrainian American family for 65 years, but only after initially learning that her pacifist father is cited in two books for challenging David Duke with a bloody knife at LSU.
Listeners can now hear the tenured cynic narrate his hopeful memoir in weekly episodes, each one covering a chapter from the book. Nearly a dozen chapters recount Jeremy and Edie traveling on COVID’s eve to Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and California wine country to meet her far-flung new folks.
Issues such as social and racial justice, police brutality, and institutionalized racism in the Deep South take center stage in many of those “crazy eight” chapters, the author says.
White explains in several early episodes how those chapters each represent a single 24-hour period, “like diary entries detailing the insanity unfolding in our lives.” Issues such as social and racial justice, police brutality, and institutionalized racism in the Deep South take center stage in many of those “crazy eight” chapters, the author says.
White adds that he’s excited about the opportunity to share their “unicorn of a story about love and forgiveness that the world so desperately needs right now.” Citing his book’s preface, the author notes, “In an age characterized by sickening inhumanity, this work celebrates the best of our humanity. Transcending issues of genealogy, The Little Girl appeals to readers seeking empathy in a divided land, and authentic beauty in an increasingly ugly world.”
The Little Girl Book Podcast is available for subscription on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, with new chapters arriving on Fridays.
White Lines Press published the ebook and 468-page hardcover editions of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture on July 1, 2023. Signed editions are available at LittleGirlBook.com and through partnered indie bookstores around the country. For more information and resources, visit our media center.
