Lynne Spears Still Moving Forward with Book
Though Lynne Spears' parenting book has been postponed, the publishers announced today that she is still moving forward with the story. In addition, Thomas Nelson, Inc. is insisting that the book is not a manual on how to parent: It's a warning.
"From the onset, the media have inaccurately reported that Lynne Spears' book is a parenting book. I'm sure this helps fuel tabloid readership, but it's simply not true," said Michael S. Hyatt, president and CEO of Thomas Nelson. "Lynne's memoir will provide a window into the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it. It will provide a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities."
He added, "We believe in redemption. Therefore, we are standing by Lynne and her family during this difficult time."
Reports surfaced that the book was shelved following 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears' announcement that she was pregnant. It was originally slated for a 2008 release.
