Every Year thousands of educators are accused of physical abuse. Some
are guilty and are prosecuted, but hundreds who are innocent are forced
to surrender their licenses. This is what happened to Billie. Deceit and
betrayal threatened her survival, extinguished her life's dream, and
erased her sense of self worth. She wondered if she could ever trust
again. Rejected by family and friends, she was forced to reinvent every
aspect of her entire life. When a catastrophic fire crippled her
community, and individuals grappled with personal tragedy, she gained a
deeper understanding of the gift of forgiveness and the power of hope.
Her brave struggles saved not only her life but also the lives of
others. At times brutally painful, at other times hugely positive,
Today My Name Is Billie reveals how a single lie can spread like fire
and destroy all that it touches.
