SOLD: A Life Story
Too Black to be White, and too White to be Black. Billy Williams was raised in Los Angeles, California in a loving home. His Teamster father and stay-at-home mother did their best to give Billy the charmed life that every child dreams about. Karate classes taught by Chuck Norris, designer clothes, and access to the upper echelon of Black society, Billy seemed to have it all. But, sometimes, what you see, is a cover for more sinister secrets that lay just below the surface. Follow Billy as he explores his childhood, teen years, and his triumphant quest to discover who he is and where he comes from. His journey is filled with lies, secrets, drugs, sex, abandonment, and ultimately, redemption.

Great Read
I met Billy when I was in my early teens when we became neighbors. We had fun as teenagers. I would go over to Billy’s house and he would play records. I would dance to the music. I remember seeing Billy in his Crenshaw High Football gear. Billy also came to my house and visited with my cousins and friends. I remember my mother telling me to ask him to escort me to the Debutantes for Christ Ball. He did😀
When I found out he had written a book, I quickly went to Amazon and bought his book. As I started reading I was like…wait WHAT! As I turned the pages I was like…OH NO Really!!
I had no idea Billy was going through so much and harboring so much pain.
As an adoptee myself, I could identify with a lot of what Billy was feeling and the frustration.
After reading Billy’s book, It helped me to start my journey in finding my biological family.
I am so proud of Billy for opening up and telling his story.

Many of the very people that will read this amazing book, will develop there to own connections. However I feel that mine is more unique than most why you may asked well he’s Billy to you, but to me he’s dad. And to read a life story of adolescence the held so much pain and judgement it made further love the man I call father. Though every page I turned I continued to ask myself one question how could someone holding so much pain and adversity love me unconditionally. I all I can say is god is good and I thank him every day for my father. Love you pop and even more proud that you share your truth with the world.
