The Rise And Fall Of Britney Depicted In Her Mother’s Book

On September 16, Lynne Spears’ book called "Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" is scheduled to be published by Thomas Nelson.

Lynne, 53, who is teen-icon Britney Spears’ mother, details in the 211-page novel her daughter’s pursuit of stardom and fame, from her early years of singing and dancing to her recent struggle with depression and drug-addiction.

In the book, Brit is described as a highly talented, confident and extrovert girl who had always dreamed of becoming of star, practicing her musical skills to Madonna and Whitney Houston songs from the tender age of three.

Moreover, Lynne denies having pushed Britney towards a career in show-business, advocating that she had been nothing more than a thoughtful, supporting and loving mother who stood by her child’s decision to become a singer. Nevertheless, she admits to having lost control of her daughter in 1999, when Britney-who at that time, was only seventeen years old-appeared in the „Rolling Stones” magazine wearing just panties and a bra.

From that moment on, the relationship between the two went downhill. Until recently, when things started to fall into place for Britney after having overcome what everybody deemed as a breakdown she would never recover from: two marriages that ended in divorce, two children for whom she is currently in a custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline and two visits to rehab centers.

Britney has yet to read the book but according to her mother, her younger sister Jamie, 17, who recently gave birth to a baby girl, loved the book and also thanked Lynne for having written it.
