Blue Cypress Books Hosts Event Featuring Tenured Cynic’s Hopeful Book

Author Jeremy White signing copies of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture

Baton Rouge, LA — August 4, 2023 — Blue Cypress Books in the New Orleans Riverbend neighborhood is hosting an event featuring Jeremy White’s The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery at 2 p.m. Saturday, August 12. White will be on hand to sign copies of his new book about his wife, Edie, discovering her biological family in 2018 and the beautifully insane adventure that ensued.

Literally overnight, the baby of Edie’s adoptive 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 for more than 65 years.

“While we launched The Little Girl precisely five years after the most pivotal event from our story, this book signing falls on the five-year anniversary of the most powerful moment in this unicorn of a real-life family saga.”

“Several months ago,” Jeremy White recalls, “Blue Cypress Books became the first New Orleans indie bookstore to partner with us on our pre-order campaign, so we’re thrilled that the wonderful folks there are hosting our initial Crescent City book signing. The timing of it is significant, as well.” The author explains, “While we launched The Little Girl precisely five years after the most pivotal event from our story, this book signing falls on the five-year anniversary of the most powerful moment in this unicorn of a real-life family saga.”
