Now that she can end her story on a high note, Lynne Spears is ready to sing.

Britney and Jamie Lynn's mother is eyeing a September release for her upcoming memoir about raising a family in the glare of what turned into an increasingly harsh spotlight, according to Nashville-based publisher Thomas Nelson, which deals largely in inspirational books and Bibles.

Thomas Nelson announced the project in October (to originally be due on Mother's Day), but the venture was "postponed" a couple months later after Spears' then-16-year-old daughter revealed she was 12 weeks pregnant.

Not to mention 26-year-old Britney was gearing up for her first middle-of-the-night trip to the hospital.

"When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold,"a rep for the publisher told People. "Lynne never stopped working on it, because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes."

But while the publisher isn't offering any teasers as to how many details Spears is planning to divulge, at least Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World can end on a happier note.
