  <default_description>Lynne Spears was an ordinary mother whose life became extraordinary when the success of her daughter Britney pushed the Spears family onto the worldwide stage. Now, speaking out for the first time in her new memoir, Lynne sets the record straight. In &lt;i&gt;Through The Storm&lt;/i&gt;, she reveals a rarely glimpsed view of herself and her family-including celebrity daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn, son Bryan, and ex-husband Jamie. Candid, touching, and richly detailed, the stories Lynne shares reveal the heart of a mother who struggles to keep faith at the center of her life through its many unexpected twists and serendipitous turns.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[“It’s a waste of ink to defend myself, because people will believe what they want to believe anyway,” writes Lynne Spears in her autobiography <em>Through the Storm</em>. This is true, and Spears, the mother of pop star Britney and Nickelodeon TV star Jamie Lynn, seems to resign herself to this truth, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39425838">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I’ll be the first one to admit it… I was hoping for a juicy tell-all before I started reading this book but right in the intro Lynne tells us that’s not what this book is. It’s mostly a look into her life that led her to make the decisions she did in regards to her children. <br/><br/>Over...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37289886">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book because I thought it might have some interesting stories about Britney Spears, but the famous daughter is a distant figure here. Front and center is the author, who gives a superficial gloss of her life story. <br/><br/>According to Lynn Spears, Britney's career stemmed more from ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37059102">more...</a>]]></body>
