The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is going from flipping the tables to Turning the Tables with her highly touted memoir due out in 2016. On Friday, publisher Gallery Books released the book cover photo, as well as details about what will be included in the book.
“People think they know everything about me…but they don’t. Not even close,” Teresa is quoted in the publisher’s description for the book. “The world will see a new Teresa. A different Teresa. Well, actually, the Teresa I always was,” she adds.
In addition to her recent time in prison, the book will also cover “growing up as an Italian-American, meeting the love of her life and starting a family, [and] dealing with chaos and catfights on national television.”
As far as her time in prison, the book delivers on the previously promised diary entries and more:
Featuring never-before-seen scans of her prison diary, Turning the Tables captures some of the most memorable moments of her prison stay, including the cringe-inducing fistfights she witnessed, the awkward conundrum of being trapped when a fellow inmate had a…guest…over, and the strength she found while confined between four concrete walls.
Teresa Giudice’s tell-all memoir (the full title is Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again) is scheduled for release on February 9, 2016, but is already available for pre-order on Amazon in both hardcover and Kindle formats.
Here is the full description of the book from the publisher:
The star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and three-time New York Times bestselling author offers a behind-the-scenes look at life in prison, her marriage, her rise to fame, the importance of her family, and the reality TV franchise that made her a household name in her explosive and ultimately uplifting first-ever memoir.
“People think they know everything about me…but they don’t. Not even close.”
Teresa Giudice, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, has seen it all, but nothing—not even Real Housewives scandals—could compare to the media firestorm that ensued after she was convicted on federal fraud charges.
The infamous, fun-loving Jersey mom of four was sentenced to fifteen months in the same prison where Piper Kerman—the real-life inspiration behind Orange Is the New Black—did her time. Her tiny prison cubicle in Connecticut felt so far removed from the glamorous world portrayed on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. What was a skinny Italian to do? Keep a diary, of course…
In her very first tell-all memoir, Teresa comes clean on all things Giudice: growing up as an Italian-American, meeting the love of her life and starting a family, dealing with chaos and catfights on national television, and eventually, coming to terms with the reality of life in prison. Featuring never-before-seen scans of her prison diary, Turning the Tables captures some of the most memorable moments of her prison stay, including the cringe-inducing fistfights she witnessed, the awkward conundrum of being trapped when a fellow inmate had a…guest…over, and the strength she found while confined between four concrete walls.
Even at her lowest of lows, Teresa was able to live la bella vita by staying positive and realizing her purpose. Friends, foes, and fans have speculated about Teresa’s prison experience, but nothing will prepare you for the revelations she makes in this entertaining and heartwarming memoir.
“The world will see a new Teresa. A different Teresa. Well, actually, the Teresa I always was.”
