Billie never writes from an Ivory Tower, but from living life to the fullest. Nor should you look for organization, because there it none. She understands you simply can not organize your heart. She writes about the ordinary in hopes someone can see the "Wow!" in the other wise "ho-hum" days.
Her newspaper columns over the past 20 years have included her husband, her sons and their family in order to help preserve the family which is in danger of being erased. Many have said of Billie, "I feel like I know her; she writes like she talks. She is real."
Putting some "Good" on her students' lives in a classroom for 32 years was her primary goal. She continues to do this through her writing and speaking and teaching opportunities and this book.
