Lynne Spears to Britney: You're Still My "Brave Little Girl"

The following italicized article is from www.usmagazine.com:

In her new memoir Through the Storm, Lynne Spears claims her daughter has overcome her troubles of the past few years and is regaining her "glorious voice."

She adds that they're close again and that Britney remains a "brave little girl who sang to the skies" so long ago, according to The Associated Press, which obtained an early copy of the 211-page book (out Sept. 16 by Christian publisher Thomas Nelson).

Among the highlights:

--She says she first felt she was losing control of Britney after the debut of " ... Baby One More Time," when she posed in panties and a bra for a 1999 Rolling Stone story.

--She says she felt "shock and dismay" at seeing her daughter shave her head, at her brief marriages to Jason Alexander and Kevin Federline and her highly publicized custody battles over her two children.

--She writes that she felt "punched in the stomach" when she learned that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant at age 16. (Lynne famously sold the story to OK! magazine for $1 million.)

--She praises Federline as a "caring daddy" and says Britney is "an amazing mother," but only when at her best.

--She writes that she was distraught as then-manager Sam Lufti told her he was grinding pills and putting them in Britney's food, hoping to induce a coma that would enable doctors to cure her of all addictions. She calls her daughter's two hospitalizations this year a "turning point"
