New Releases by Lynne Spears

Speaking out for the first time, Spears offers a rarely glimpsed view of herself and her family--including celebrity daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn, son Bryan, and ex-husband Jamie. Candid and touching, the stories show the heart of a mother who struggles to keep faith through life''s twists and turns.

Holly Faye Lovell sure can sing. Everyone in Biscay, Mississippi, knows that. And when at fourteen she becomes the youngest student ever to win a scholarship to the prestigious Haverty School of Music, her dream of pursuing a singing career is on its way. But for the first time in her life, Holly must leave behind her mother, Wanda. Although they don’t have much in the way of money, there’s always been plenty of love . . . and there’s always been Wanda’s birthmark, an ugly red scar on the side of her face that makes people who don’t know her turn away. Now that Holly''s off with her posh new friends and new life, she’s ashamed to find herself embarrassed by her mom and their humble background. And Wanda finds herself wanting to reveal a long-hidden secret . . . a secret that could destroy their bond forever. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to The Britney Spears Foundation.

Britney Spears and her mother Lynne share the inspiring story of how one girl from Louisiana became a music phenomenon. Although the book contains intimate details of Britney''s life and her rise to stardom, it is also a tale of mothers and daughters, dealing with success, coping with failure and understanding self-image - all the questions that beset every young woman.
