Baton Rouge, LA — July 31, 2023 — Multiple newspapers have dedicated many column inches to covering Jeremy White’s new memoir about his wife, Edie, finding her biological family in 2018 and the beautifully insane story that ensued. One day after the launch of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery, the July 2 edition of The Sunday Advocate included a report on the tenured cynic’s hopeful book.

More recently, Edie White’s hometown newspaper ran a full-page, full-color feature on her and the book in which she’s the hero. Kevin Fambrough’s in-depth coverage in the July 20 edition of The Pointe Coupee Banner features several photos, including some taken during a launch event at Cavalier House Books. That’s where Fambrough interviewed the 1988 valedictorian of Catholic High School-Pointe Coupee for his report.

Edie White’s hometown newspaper ran a full-page, full-color feature on her and the book in which she’s the hero.

Readers of The Little Girl learn how, literally overnight, the baby of Edie’s adopted 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 in northwest Indiana for more than 65 years.

The Pointe Coupee Banner began operation in 1880 and has published without interruption during wartime eras and numerous natural disasters. Meanwhile, The Advocate is a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper with the largest circulation among all dailies in Louisiana.

White Lines Press published the 468-page hardcover edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture on July 1. Signed editions are available at LittleGirlBook.com and through partnered indie bookstores around the country. For more information and resources, visit our media center.

The Advocate Reports on Launch of The Little Girl at the Bottom the Picture

The following was posted as a staff report on TheAdvocate.com on June 30, 2023, and printed in the Sunday, July 2, edition of The Advocate.

Mysteries solved: Baton Rouge’s Jeremy White recounts wife’s search for new family

When it came to inspiration for his debut book, Baton Rouge author Jeremy White found it in wife Edie White’s search for her biological family.

The result, “The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery,” was released Saturday.

The self-published work tracks the couple’s multi-directional adventure once Edie White, through AncestryDNA, learns that her father’s name is John Hart. Edie White, who was raised by a loving adopted family, in turn, discovers another new family and reaches out.

What unfolds in “The Little Girl” is “how the bombshell propels the two college sweethearts into this beautifully epic, transformational adventure that resolves a trio of daunting mysteries, including one plaguing an enthusiastic horde of gangster-adjacent Ukrainian Americans for two-thirds of a century,” according to a news release.

Also intriguing is that John Hart was a pacifist cited in two books for challenging David Duke at LSU with a bloody knife.

The chapters detail the couple’s trips to Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and California wine country to meet her far-flung new family.

“Some … see her as a wonderful expansion of their incredibly loving families. Others see her as a bona fide miracle. And at least one person considers Edie the answer to a long-secret prayer that she didn’t expect to receive until the afterlife,” the release also says.

The book is filled with happy reunions, including one involving a local bookstore, that the author describes as mind-blowing.

“Edie’s selfless agenda is the heart of this powerful story of healing, and sets it apart from other works about similar searches,” according to the release. “Our reluctant hero successfully dodges all the traps that could have turned this unicorn of a real-life family saga into a darker version of the insane yet heartwarming tale that it is.”

The 468-page hardcover book is available at LittleGirlBook.com or at Cavalier House Books, Denham Springs.
