This is what I thought. After the edit came out that got added to Christine Lu's answer, my wife and I realized that the book was probably about some precipitating event where she decides to back off on the harsh-love method.

I get it now. The WSJ excerpt with provocative headline was meant for us to get drawn into thinking she's a mean b**** and get everyone talking about her. The follow up appearances on the Today Show and NBC Nightly news is meant for us to understand that she's a smart rich b**** who's going to sell a lot of books out of this. Got it.

I'm sure it's a great read. And good for her that she was able to ditch the parenting style with her family in tact and write a book about it. Not all of us are so lucky.
