Kate Gosselin, famous mother of eight and media mogul in her own right, will release a new book on April 13th: “I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family.” Gosselin, who has already published two New York Times bestsellers and is in production on a new television show for TLC, said in a statement that “each day the thought crosses [her] mind that when they get older, [her] kids are going to look back and think about how they were raised.”
She acknowledges that “they will have a lot of questions about things that may not make sense because they were raised so unconventionally.” So she decided to write a book that would make it clear “without a shadow of a doubt how much [she loves] them and how much every sacrifice made was worth it for them.”
And there have been plenty of sacrifices. The Gosselin family has been in the news for all the wrong reasons of late: Jon’s affair, their subsequent divorce, Kate’s temper, Kate’s hair. Kate hopes that this book of prayers, journal excerpts and letters will help her children understand the media tornado that is their childhood when they’re all grown up.
Gosselin’s new show is rumored to not feature her children, possibly another facet of her attempt to help them normalize their lives. According to Entertainment Weekly, unconfirmed reports suggest that the new TLC show will be all about Gosselin trying new offbeat jobs every week. According to TLC the show is still in development and they haven’t settled on an idea yet. ”When we have determined what the show will be, you will hear directly from us,” a network spokesman promised.
