Michael Phelps mom turns author

Debbie Phelps got plenty of face time during the Olympics. Now, in the wake of her son winning eight gold medals at the Beijing Games, and then being photographed inhaling from a marijuana pipe, she's putting out a book to relate her experiences as a single mother dealing with both triumph and hardship.
"A Mother For All Seasons" is in shelves since Tuesday, while Michael Phelps is still dealing with the fallout from that embarrassing photograph. His mother touches briefly on the episode in her book, which is mainly a memoir of her life.
