By the age of ten, misguided, lost and abused, she is already on the verge of a breakdown. But she is no ordinary girl. Growing up in a city that has broken many before her, a city that seem to have keep out, one way and no outlet signs posted at every turn, the odds are stacked against Billie King. Poverty, drug addiction and dysfunction within the household often take center stage as the wild cards in her life, and yet, she is driven to pursue her artistic dreams. But the path getting there is anything but ordinary. She endues a bizarre relationship that would be considered sick in the minds of most, but even through her naivety, she see’s it as her safest place. And a mother, while risking her own sanity and even her life to save hers, she is constantly being endangered and derailed struggling to keep her balance. In the intimate details of this book, the author reveals the immense power that resides in a daughter’s unwavering love for her mother. And she proves that, with strength of will, resilience, and a dedication to her artistic destiny, all things are possible.

Review Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite 5 Stars!Billie King's non-fiction memoir, Billie, is a ferociously honest and incredibly moving story that gripped me from the very first pages. I found myself staying up later and later as I became reluctant to interrupt her narrative. Billie is beautifully written in a style that makes the reader feel as though he were in the room with the author as she related her life story. Her story never descends into self-pity or moroseness. She remains steadfast throughout, remaining resilient, resourceful and ready to face whatever comes her way.Reviewed By Gisela Dixon for Readers' Favorite5 Stars!Billie is a raw, compelling memoir and I felt that it was written from a very honest and genuine place: no frills, no embellishments, just plain facts. The fact that all three of them (Billie, her sister Nia, and their mother) struggled with these issues at various levels and are still able to love one another and stay strong and supportive of each other is a wonderful thing. I applaud Billie for coming out with this memoir. All in all, a gritty, compelling memoir that is a must-read! Reviewed By Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite4 Stars!The author is forthright when it comes to speaking about her life and has no qualms about sharing the truth with readers, which makes the book tangible and emotional. The memoir is detailed and the author does not mince words when it comes to sharing the twists and turns that have made her the person she is today. It's a memoir of redemption and healing as we see the author finally breaking free from her hard life and finding a sense of liberation and peace, which enables her to discover her full potential and talent.
From the Author Billie was very therapeutic for me. It was like years of therapy. I was able for the first time to really evaluate and dig deep into my childhood, which helped the forgiving process in order to forgive those who betrayed me. And to forgive myself for mistakes I made as an adult, due to misguided anger.I started writing the book while in the hospital watching my mother fight for her life. She developed a blood infection, which has a 90% mortality rate that had us in the hospital for 45 days. Yes, us. I never left her side. I slept in a cot right next to her. I changed the bed pan and empty the puke buckets. She's mom, and exactly how it has been my entire life, I was there to take care of her. In order to try and take her mind off those odds, I began to ask her questions about her early years with my father. And then I began to tell her things that I remembered dated all the way back to when I was six. She was shocked to know that I had such vivid memories of certain horrid events, that she was just trying to make light of, and to hear it from my point of view. The view of a little skinny 6 year old, looking at the biggest, boldest man that she idolized and wanted to be like, throw the sweetest woman in the whole wide world around like a rag doll. A little girl trying desperately to separate the monster from the superstar. And to grow up fighting equally hard not to be like either one of them. So again, this was truly a therapeutic process that I am grateful for.
About the Author In a world where political correctness has run amuck, Billie King stays true to her roots and moral code and decides to reveal all about her life in an effort to make the conversation more public and allow awareness to flourish through open discussions. She openly credits her deep love for her mother as a major source of inspiration and explains how it was that that helped her through many circumstances. King goes on to explain how she was able to see through the “drugs” and embrace only the best qualities that her mother had to offer. Precious R. King, now writing under the pen name of Billie King, is no stranger to the spotlight, having penned some of the hottest R & B tracks and has even appeared on Billboards Top 100 twice. King has quite a discography under her belt and this memoir seems to have taken her career to a new level. At a recent press conference, Billie King was quoted as saying, “I wrote my memoir not just to help other girls, but to also help myself. Coming out and revealing intimate details of my life was very therapeutic for me, and I am just thrilled that I can somehow help other people along the way!” King is now reported to be living in Southern California, where she still writes music and screenplays.

Very well written. Moved swiftly and smooth to every event.May sound like a fiction to some because many instances were somewhatunbelievable but very true. What makes it more amazing is that the authorstill stands strong. Knowing first hand that this IS a true story Ican't wait to read the fiction.

Wow! only ten years old and slaying the dragons of hell with one hand and holding her own heart, and her mother's heart in the palm of her other hand. Billie King strives to keep her mental balance, courage, and artistic dreams alive.I wanted to give my shoulder as a place of rest for her head. Some of the pages got wet and I was not cutting up onions. I could picture holdingonto her hand and walking with her, but both her hands were full of life's daily twist, turns, surprises, tunnels and perplexing predicaments.Between rage and laughter, innocence lost, and tragedy to triumph, Billie King opens her soul with the doors and windows wide open.After reading this true story, I took a look into the windows of my own soul.

The methods in which the commentary is delivered are riveting. It draws you into the story and keeps you engaged the entire time. The writing is highly detailed and descriptive. During my reading, I felt as though, at times, I was standing there in the room. Sad to know that the things written are true; however, I can feel the strong and powerful being that the author must be to have overcome the events that occurred. I was very afraid reading the ending because I wanted there to be a happy ending. I wont give it away and say how it ends but I will say...job well done to the author! This book is a must read!!
