Lynne Spears Released her Book Through The Storm
August 11, 2008 – 4:39 pm
Lynne Spears, mother of sisters Jamie Lynn Spears and Britney Spears has eventually released a book that was rumored about for many a month. The book bears a title Through The Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, and instead of being about “good parenting”, Lynne Spears has made it a tell-all memoir.
Through The Storm is scheduled to hit bookstores near you on August 16th, 2008 and supposedly it will be an ultimate guide to Lynne Spears’ hands on experience living in the tabloid spotlight of the Hollywood. Mother Lynne had planned to release the book on last Mother’s Day, but everything got delayed after Jamie Lynn Spears announced that she was pregnant. Lynne Spears also changed the title of the book from originally intended “Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” into now official “Through The Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World”.
Lynne Spears is well known as pimp extraordinaire who made millions of dollars whoring both of her daughters out in effort to milk as much money out of them as possible. That of course enabled her to pay for the release of this book as it paid for everything else. Britney Spears herself is rather unamused (understand “pissed off”) that mother Lynne Spears continues to suck at both Spears’ sisters to make the most out for herself.
According to Allie is Wired, Through the Storm shares the story of The Spears family as only a mother can tell it and covers:
* Lynne Spears’ role in Britney’s road to fortune and fame and how it changed the family forever
* Her regrets after managers, agents, and record companies took charge of her children
* The challenges that her marriage to Jamie Spears faced and how it affected their son Bryan, as well as daughter Britney and Jamie Lynn
* Her take on Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy
* What led to Britney’s down-turn and how Lynne dealt with her manager Sam Lufti
* How she kept the faith living in the spotlight of paparazzi, tabloids, and gossipers
Why do I get that weird feeling that Lynne Spears giving advice on parenting would be the same Jamie Lynn Spears giving advice on how to use anticonception to avoid pregnancy?

It doesn’t always matter how great (or not-so-great) a job parents do while raising their kids – they don’t always turn out the way we’d like them to. To some extent, it makes sense to place blame on parents… but on the other hand, as kids grow up, they develop minds of their own and live as they choose to. We (as parents) can only hope that they will USE the brains God gave them and practise the teachings their parents’ provided along the way – and make the proper decisions in life.
Parents are indeed responsible for their off-spring but there’s only so much a parent can control. Kids have to become independant at some point and no matter what, they will make mistakes along the way. We all do at times.
My dad always taught me that any mistake in life that we make is well worth it – “IF” – you can LEARN something valuable from it and NOT CONTINUE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE REPEATEDY.
Lynne could have been a CLASS “A” MOTHER – and her daughters would have still did what they wanted to do, outside of what she; as a parent, could control.
Once teenaged girls become interested in boys, parties, etc. there’s very little a parent can do to intervene if they are kept in the dark about it.
I don’t feel it’s fair to verbally bash Lynne for mistakes her daughters have made along the way.
Perhaps it’s not fair for Lynne to publish their deep, dark secrets (being hurtful to her daughters) but everyone needs to make a living. If there were no one out there willing to purchase the book, how could she profit? The only reason we even KNOW DETAILS about these family members is because WE CHOOSE to read about it – and then judge them.
I’m a Britney and a Jamie-Lynne fan, despite their mistakes along the way. I will purchase Lynne’s book and respect her job and role as a mother to 2 very successful daughters. The life they have AWAY from the tabloids is what she is sharing, to my understanding. I’m grateful for the inside look that comes straight from the horse’s mouth, as opposed to the inaccurate garbage that tabloids often print. I believe it will be interesting to learn about the hardships and struggles they endured on the road to fame. Perhaps if the general public had some accurate knowledge, they just might understand more about the situation as a whole and perhaps learn to respect that whether famous or not, everyone makes mistakes at times – whether you are a PARENT (such as Jamie & Lynne) – or a daughter. Instead of ridiculing everyone on some level for what they’re doing (teen pregnancy, diming daughters in a book, poor parenting, etc.), why not be grateful for their willingness to share some FACTS and TRUTH – and learn to commend them all for making it through the tough times and wish them “WELL” for a more promising future, after having learned a few difficult things (while in the public spot light) along the way.
They are a brave family all around. Why trash-talk any of them. How many of us have raised PERFECTLY FLAWLESS CHILDREN (and within the PRIVACY of our own homes??) This family deserves compassion for coming together in times of need. Look at Jamie and Lynne for a moment…. They worked TOGETHER to help Britney back in January, despite the fact that they aren’t even together as a couple anymore. They still came together FOR THEIR DAUGHTER (to help and guide her – even in her twenties), in her desperate time of need.
Lets read the book and learn a few facts – and perhaps maybe then we’ll be more understanding as to the many struggles these girls and their parents have endured over the years. Fame and fortune is not always as glam as we’d like to believe. They’re human too. They just do different things than most of us do, to make a living. Respect that and respect them all as the individuals who make up a unique family. Try not to judge but instead learn to be more understanding. We all make mistakes. Should none of us ever be forgiven or understood? Perhaps discovering some events of their past may help to bring more of an understanding of the current issues. Give them a chance. They’re people just like we are. Stop the hate and judgement.

Wow, that was very well said.
I couldn’t agree more. If none of us were reading of the trashy tabloids, we wouldn’t be “in the know” about the events surrounding these girls in the spotlight. We read it by choice – whether its true words or not.
I want to read the book – BECAUSE it’s coming straight from the MOM. It gives the girls more of a fair chance to be understood for how they got to where they are today.
Just because Jamie-Lyn had a baby at 17 does not mean she’s a bad person. She is probably a better mom than so many other who are much older than she is – who are not interested in raising their families.
The girls have had problems along the way and despite their difficulties growing up – Lynne (as their Mom) has a lot to be proud of too. I think her book is her own way of showing both sides to the world – and it doesn’t have to come from ruthless magazines. It can come straight from her heart.
What she’s doing is brave. The girls will feel some hurtful moments through this but may also be relieved for some TRUTH to be out there floating around for a change.
They deserve compassion. All of the family does. Why scorn everyone? The world is filled with a lot of HATERS who are also IMPERFECT PEOPLE.
How quickly they like to judge one or the other.
People like that should buy a mirror and learn to face themselves with the same amount of judgement that they inflict toward others!
Every time any of us says rude or nasty things about anyone else, we are subtly trying to say that we are BETTER than the others we’re critisizing. In God’s eyes, we are all loved the same, regardless of fame, status or mistakes – which is why we are not supposed to judge one another. That’s God’s job, not ours. He has asked us to LOVE (& respect) one another – and leave it at that.

To follow up on that – NONE OF US “KNOW” what kind of “Marvelous Job” Lynne did while raising those girls. We didn’t live in their home with them. We didn’t witness the sacrifices they made for their careers. We didn’t know about the struggles, strains, nervousness, hopes, fears, tears, etc. that were most likely present all along the way. Lynne was very devoted; at the very least!
How can anyone critisize her “JOB” she did?
We didn’t witness it! We don’t KNOW for certain!
I come from a family of 7 children. We were all raised EXACTLY the SAME with the exact same teachings, etc. etc.
NONE OF US ARE THE SAME. We have the black sheep, the goody-two-shoes, The floor-mat type, the mouthy one, the always Happy and smiling one, The hard-worker, etc. None of us are a direct reflection of how we were raised. We are all individuals, regardless of the “JOB” our parents did, in raising us.
You can’t blame the parents for mistakes the kids made…. and you shoudn’t blame the KIDS for the mistakes either. We are all HUMAN – Making Mistakes is part of that. NO ONE IS PERFECT. Why are mistakes so outrageous to accept for some people? Because these people live in the spotlight?
If you can’t say something NICE or POSITIVE, then maybe you shouldn’t say ANYTHING at all.
What did YOUR parents teach YOU, SUNSHINEGURK????
Perhaps you should have been taught to watch for typos!
I believe your name should have been: sunshinegurL – not GURK.
Brilliant.

AWESOME POINTS!
its about time somebody starts saying positive things about this family instead of always negative garbage!
huggs and brandy – nicely worded. both, truly wonderful reads.
thanx!
who is sunshinegurk? perhaps a person who just enjoys running her mouth with no sense to back it up. total loser and waste.
