In her autobiography “Lady Sings the Blues” she mentions that she discovered at her father Clarence’s funeral she discovered that he’d been romancing a white woman (Billie calls her a “second step-mother”) who had bore him two children whom She’d brought to the funeral with her (A boy and a girl who Billie referred to as her half-siblings).
