...strong-minded, determined. That tenacity, so crucial to her physical recovery, may also be what saves her from being crushed by the attention that now surrounds her. "When it's all over," says her father Greg Lynch, "she'll just be an old country girl"--the label a shorthand for the virtues that matter, like kindness and toughness. For all the attention, all the books and banners and presents and parades, her parents understand that Jessica Lynch has become a convenient emblem for this war, its first name and memorable face.

...least, is under control. "I never, ever get sick," she says, "so when we got to Paris I thought I was dying. My fever was so high I was out of my head. Finally I was like, 'This is silly, I just need to go home.'" Spears says her label was "not happy, not happy at all" with her decision to cut the tour short, "but sometimes you just have to say, 'No, I'm not doing that - I have to get some sleep.'"
