Product Description:
We all want our children to succeed. What happens when they do?
Britney Spears wanted to sing ever since she was a little girl. But the years of sacrifices, auditions, performances, albums, fame, and paparazzi left the little Louisiana family swept up and spun around, and nothing turned out the way anyone ever imagined or wanted. Now Lynne shares the inside story of the Spears family as only a mother can.
Through the Storm 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."

- Walking in another's shoes
I think i speak for millions of people who are tired of the Spears family being in the tabloids day in and day out.
I am not a Britney fan but like so many others have become a pseudo expert due to it being shoved down my throat daily. I am SO over it.
I absolutely understand Lynne's desire to right this book. This woman has been to hell and back. Nobody can judge this woman or this family. This woman is brave and courageous, airing her family's troubles so that some ... Read More

- A Stormy Life for Sure
I just finished reading "Through the Storm---A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" by Lynn Spears. Lynn is the mother of Brian, Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears. I must say it was a very interesting read and was one which opened my eyes to the `real' world of the entertainment business in our country.
Let me preface my review by saying that if you are looking for a tell-all expose' on the lives of Lynn Spears' two youngest daughters, then you will be very disappointed. ... Read More

- Through The Storrm a Painful Read
One thing Through The Storm is not is a book on parenting, so get off that dead horse right now. It's more a mother's explanation of her family, albeit her very notable family. Mrs. Spears recounts her life and marriage and, as you might imagine, the birth and raising of her children. She touches on the large moments in their lives, but keeps the focus on her perceptions and reactions to the events. To its credit, Through the Storm is not a Tell-All in disguise, and it does offer a perspective of ... Read More
Rating: - For the busy parent
I admit that at first I was unsure if I wanted to review this book. I'm not one to get caught up in all the silliness and absurdity that grows out of our societies unhealthy obsession with all things celebrity. But I would have to be either dead or extremely oblivious to not have at least heard of Lynne Spears.
I'm generally a trusting person- skepticism would not be listed by people who know me as a defining characteristic. However, I do employ a health dose of doubt for things like tabloids ... Read More
Rating: - "Through the Storm": Is it worth it?
I have to admit that I'm something of a follower of the Britney Spears saga. Watching her crash and burn never gave me pleasure, but once I started caring about her I found I couldn't tear myself away. I saw a haunted look in her eyes that even how hasn't entirely gone away, and I wondered if her mom's book would reveal something about that.
Reveal it did, though not quite as I'd expected. I didn't know that Lynne was a devout Christian, nor that she had been as involved in her daughters' lives ... Read More
