Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, has published a book Through the Storm, sharing the inside story of the Spears family. From the childhood ambitions, to the years of sacrifices, auditions, performances, albums, fame and paparazzi, Through the Storm published by Thomas Nelson takes readers outside the narrow orbit of the Hollywood glitterati.
Lynne shares how fame forever changed their family; her regrets letting managers, agents, and record companies direct the lives of her children; the challenges that shaped Lynne and Jamie’s failed marriage and how they affected Bryan, Britney, and Jamie Lynn; the startling events that led to Britney’s breakdown; the aftermath of Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy; and how the family has tried pulling together to recapture a sense of hope and purpose.
Through the Storm, says Lynne, is "the story of one simple Southern woman whose family got caught in a tornado called fame, and who is still trying to sort through the debris scattered all over her life in the aftermath. It’s who I am, warts and all, with some true confessions that took a long time to get up the nerve to discuss."
