Book launch

Ballast Book Co. in Bremerton is helping launch Jeremy White’s debut book “The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture.”

It’s about his wife discovering her biological family in 2018. Edie White solved a 65-year-old mystery that plagued a Ukrainian American family near Chicago, after initially finding immediate family in Renton.

White said four chapters tell of their trips to the Pacific Northwest, to Port Angeles, Seattle and Bothell. He said they found Ballast while checking out Bremerton as a place to live. He said that’s the same reason Kate Larson moved back to Kitsap and bought Ballast, buying out her former employer.

Ballast is located at 409 Pacific Ave. (Unit 202). After undergoing renovations, the indie bookstore is open seven days a week, and can be found online at BallastBookCo.com
