Newfound Siblings Finally Hug in Latest Episode of Tenured Cynic’s Hopeful Story Set in Northern California

Author Jeremy White presents powerful first meeting on ‘The Little Girl Book Podcast’

Baton Rouge, LA — March 11, 2024 — Listeners of The Little Girl Book Podcast can now hear actual audio of author Jeremy White’s wife, Edie, first meeting her newfound baby brother at SEA-TAC International Airport, as recounted in chapter 15 of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery. Episode 15 (“Touchdown Seattle“) marries White’s narration of his memoir—detailing how the lifelong adoptee discovered her biological family in 2018 and the insanely beautiful, transformational journey that ensued—with a recording of the powerfully moving family reunion.

“After more than 47 years,” Jeremy describes the siblings finally embracing, “Edie had made physical first contact with her blood.”

A social media reel includes video of Edie’s first hug with her newfound younger brother, Justin Hart, of Renton, WA, moments after flying 2,500 miles from Baton Rouge in May 2018. It marked her initial meeting with anyone from her birth family. “After more than 47 years,” Jeremy describes the siblings finally embracing, “Edie had made physical first contact with her blood. Edie eventually relaxed her headlock, came down from her tippy toes, and faced her kin. ‘HI!!!’ she squealed through tears, prompting them both to giggle as they maintained eye contact, almost like they had taken a moment from dancing to admire each other at arm’s length.”

In lieu of a traditional audiobook, the tenured cynic is narrating his hopeful story in weekly episodes. Each one covers a chapter from White’s retelling of how Edie 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. 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. 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.

Tenured Cynic Stuns News Anchors on Live TV With Hopeful Story Set in Northern California

Jeremy White wows WAFB’s morning hosts with The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture

Baton Rouge, LA — February 14, 2024 — In his first live TV appearance since publishing The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery, author Jeremy White visibly stuns anchors Liz Koh and Matt Williams on WAFB9 News at 9 with details from the powerful story about his wife, Edie, discovering her biological family in early 2018 and the beautifully insane adventure that ensued. 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.

In the live segment aired on Thursday, February 8, Koh and Williams are physically taken aback as White retells how Edie was “sucker punched at work by Ancestry’s iPhone app with news that ‘John Hart is your father’ at 10:45 on a Tuesday morning. Good luck getting anything else done that day,” the author remarks. “Well, turns out, John Hart is going to have some books written about him. In fact,” White continues, “he is cited in two books about David Duke because of an incident that happened in 1969 at Free Speech Alley at LSU, involving a bloody knife.”

“I’ve got chills.” — Liz Koh

When White explains how Edie ultimately solves a mystery that had been plaguing a gangster-adjacent, Ukrainian American family near Chicago for 65 years, Koh reveals, “I’ve got chills.” Moments later, a floored Williams insists, “It’s like a movie, like a bunch of movies!” Koh agrees and tells viewers, “Well, if someone’s listening out there and thinking, ‘OK, I need to get the screenplay going,’ we know the guy to talk to.”

“It’s like a movie, like a bunch of movies!” — Matt Williams

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.

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, before launching The Little Girl Book Podcast on December 1 in lieu of an audiobook.
