Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World is a memoir by Lynne Spears that she co-wrote with Lorilee Craker.[1] The memoir is about Lynne's daughters: Britney and Jamie Lynn.[2] The book was announced in 2007 and published on September 16, 2008 by Thomas Nelson, a Christian publisher.[3] Prior to the book's release, the National Enquirer leaked several of the book's revelations, including that Britney had started drinking alcohol at age thirteen, soon after she began appearing on American variety show The Mickey Mouse Club.[4] When Britney was seventeen, her talent manager Larry Rudolph promoted her as a virgin who continued to shun premarital sex while dating teen idol Justin Timberlake,.[5][6] Lynne said in an interview with the Daily Mail that, of all the chapters in the book, the ones she found most difficult to write were those about Jamie Lynn's teenage pregnancy.[7] Sam Lutfi, a former talent manager of Britney's, began a defamation lawsuit against Lynne[8] for alleging in Through the Storm that he had isolated and drugged Britney.[9] An Entertainment Tonight article by James Herman calls Through the Storm a "jaw-dropping tell-all book".[10] In an Entertainment Weekly review, Adrienne Day writes that the book only provides information that can be found on Wikipedia.[11]
