Author and tenured cynic Jeremy White shares images depicted in hopeful book
Baton Rouge, LA — October 11, 2023 — The East Baton Rouge Parish Library’s Special Collections Department is hosting local author Jeremy White, who will present his new book about his wife 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 65-year-old mystery that plagued a Ukrainian American family, after initially learning her pacifist father is cited in two books for challenging David Duke with a bloody knife at LSU.
Personally signed copies will be available for purchase following the audio-visual presentation in the large meeting room where Jeremy once trained fellow high school football officials.
The tenured cynic will share many powerful and heartwarming images from this real-life family adventure at the EBRPL Main Branch (7711 Goodwood Blvd.) at 6 p.m. Wednesday, October 18, as part of the Special Collections Lecture Series. Personally signed copies will be available for purchase following the audio-visual presentation in the large meeting room where Jeremy once trained fellow high school football officials.
“For years, I used to break down game film to scores of officials in that room on a weekly basis,” White recalls. “Now, on that same screen, I get to show images from our beautiful journey, including videos of moving reunions. As much as I loved reffing for nearly two decades, sharing our unicorn of a story is proving to be way more fun and rewarding.”
Jeremy’s other upcoming events this month include the Louisiana Book Festival, where he’ll participate in a panel discussion about memoir, on Saturday, October 28, in downtown Baton Rouge. He and Edie also will be on Author’s Row at the Livingston Parish Book Festival on Saturday, October 21, in Livingston.
