A book by Michael Phelps' mom, Debbie, hits bookstores today and given recent events, it might not be the easiest sell.

Her book, called "A Mother For All Seasons: A Memoir" started the morning ranked No. 173,265 on Amazon.com. For those scoring at home, that's 172,098 places behind "Home Cheese Making: Recipes for 75 Delicious Cheeses."

A USA Today report says that Debbie briefly addresses the recent photo of her son in the book.

"I could not have been more proud of how Michael dealt with the onslaught," Phelps is quoted as saying.
