Lynne Spears to Write About “Dark Period of Britney's Life” in Memoir

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

In her upcoming memoir, Lynne Spears "will get into the dark period of Britney's life — from a mother's eyes," Curt Harding, a rep for Christian publishing company Thomas Nelson, tells Usmagazine.com.

The book — slated for a September release — will be titled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

"Lynne begins by telling the story of her own family," Harding says. "She's going to go into it."

He says Lynne had been working on the book "for at least a year" but took some time off in light of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy and Britney's hospitalization.

She was like, "I can't write a book right now, I've got to take care of my family,'" Harding tells Us.

"I think people will be surprised about who Lynne is," Harding adds. "That’s what I’ve gotten from it so far. I think she’s stronger than people give her credit for."

The memoir, Harding tells Us, "will be useful for moms who will read it and say, 'I can see myself in those same shoes.'"

Lynne Spears' Book Nearing Release

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

What was it like raising sisters BRITNEY and JAMIE LYNN SPEARS? Their mother LYNNE SPEARS will dish on the subject in a long-awaited book due out this fall, according to People.

"It's her story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. It's a memoir," a spokesman for publishing house Thomas Nelson tells the mag.

The book's release was delayed last December in the wake of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy announcement.

"Lynne never stopped working on [the book] because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes," the publisher's spokesman tells People, adding that the memoir might line bookstore shelves this September.

Lynne Spears’ Maniacal Memoirs

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

Lynne Spears, mom of Britney and Jamie Lynn, will be releasing her personal memoirs this fall, the book’s publisher announced.

“Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” will chronicle Lynne’s raising of her two daughters, Britney, 25, and Jamie Lynn, 16, and how she groomed her daughters into stars while coming from a low-profile Louisiana community.

“When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold,” a rep for publisher Thomas Nelson Inc. told People. “Lynne never stopped working on it because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother’s eyes.”

Based in Nashville, Tenn., Thomas Nelson Inc. also publishes Bibles, Christian fiction and nonfiction books and children’s books.

“[It] will not be a parenting book,” the rep added. “It’s [Lynne’s] story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. It’s a memoir.”

The book is due out in September.

Lynne Spears Memoir Coming Our Way!

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

Lynne Spears is back to working on her book. But don't think it's gonna be a parenting book like previously reported. It's actually gonna be a memoir, which is actually more interesting than a lame parenting book.

"When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold," a spokesperson for Thomas Nelson said. "Lynne never stopped working on it because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes." The memoir is going to be about Lynne raising two very famous daughters. It is slated for release sometime this Fall.

This sounds like it would be a great read. So much happened in the Spears family in one year that there should be enough material for a 1000 page memoir.

Britney's Upbringing Going on the Record

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

Now that she can end her story on a high note, Lynne Spears is ready to sing.

Britney and Jamie Lynn's mother is eyeing a September release for her upcoming memoir about raising a family in the glare of what turned into an increasingly harsh spotlight, according to Nashville-based publisher Thomas Nelson, which deals largely in inspirational books and Bibles.

Thomas Nelson announced the project in October (to originally be due on Mother's Day), but the venture was "postponed" a couple months later after Spears' then-16-year-old daughter revealed she was 12 weeks pregnant.

Not to mention 26-year-old Britney was gearing up for her first middle-of-the-night trip to the hospital.

"When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold,"a rep for the publisher told People. "Lynne never stopped working on it, because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes."

But while the publisher isn't offering any teasers as to how many details Spears is planning to divulge, at least Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World can end on a happier note.
