Lynn Spears Book No Bombshell

Being Mom of Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears

Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, which published the book, put it on hold last December, the day before it was announced to the media that Jamie Lynn, the 16-year-old star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101," was pregnant.

"The book is delayed indefinitely. It's delayed, not canceled," the company told OK magazine.

At the time, the book's title was "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World."

"Since Britney's multiple meltdowns and Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, there was no way Lynn Spears could write about mothering advice without addressing her obvious failure," Lee said.

In "Through the Storm," Spears rejected the notion that she pushed Britney into show business, writing that from the age of 3, when Britney began singing and dancing, she was focused on making it in the music business.

Spears presented herself as a loving and selfless parent who gave up her job as a school teacher for Britney's sake, but who became an increasingly powerless figure in her daughter's life. She wrote that she realized she was losing control when Rolling Stone featured a racy cover of the budding pop star in only panties and bra.

Spears also recalled feeling "shock and dismay" seeing Britney's shaved head and feeling like she had been "punched in the stomach," when she learned of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. She wrote about being distraught after learning from then-manager Sam Lutfi that he was grinding pills and putting them in Britney's food in hopes of inducing a coma that would enable doctors to cure her of her drug addictions.

The "turning point" for the entire family came, she wrote, when Britney was hospitalized twice this year, the second time in February, and finally received the care she needed.

Today, Britney's father, Jamie, remains her court-appointed guardian and conservator of her estate. And even though she gave up custody of her boys to their father, Kevin Federline, Britney appears more involved in their lives now. She is also close to her mother again, wrote Spears, who called her "my brave little girl who sang to the skies."
