The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is preparing to publish her latest memoir, The Queen of New Jersey.
Teresa took to Instagram to share her “exciting” news about her new book.
“I can’t believe it’s been almost nine years since my last memoir. And let me tell you — A LOT has happened in those nine years,” she wrote. “I have been through some of the hardest moments of my life divorce. Losing my father. Learning to stand on your own after twenty years. Dating again. Finding love again. To fall in love with Louie Ruelasgetting engaged, getting married and having ours relationship tested in some of the most public ways imaginable.”
Teresa noted that her daughters have “grown from little girls to incredible young women.”
“I’ve been on Dancing with the stars, House of villains, Special forces with Giaand lived through some of the craziest drama in Housewives history,” she continued. “And for the first time ever, I’m holding nothing back.”
Teresa said she has spent 18 years living her life “in front of cameras”, but she insisted there are “so many things I’ve never fully shared.”
“In this book I tell my side of the story,” she said. “The lessons I’ve learned, the mistakes I’ve made, the people I’ve loved, the relationships I’ve lost, and what I’ve learned about finding happiness again. And yes…if there’s anything from the show I’ve wanted to set the record straight on, you’ll find it in this book. This is the most honest, personal and candid book I’ve ever written.”
“If you want to be among the first to read it, go to BallastBooks.com and pre-order your signed first edition copy today,” she added. “These copies ship about a month before general release, so you get yours before everyone else. Thank you for always being there for me, supporting me, and growing with me through this journey. I can’t wait for you to read along The Queen of New Jersey.”
In a video she posted on her Instagram, she told more about her upcoming book.
“The moment is finally here, what I’ve been working on for the past year. So excited. My third memoir, The Queen of New Jersey,” Teresa shared. “Today pre-orders are available. Anyone who orders today can go to ballastbooks.com. You will get a hardcover, of your reality, autographed. So excited to share the last 10 years of my life, my journey. I put my heart and soul into it. Can’t wait for you guys to read it. Love, love, love all of your love and support.”
In the official description of the book, it notes that “only a true queen can rise and fall again, honey. Take notes.”
“In the nearly ten years since Teresa Giudice published her second memoir, the world has watched, judged, celebrated and criticized her in equal measure,” it continues. Now she finally takes readers through the life-changing events that have led her to see the light at the end of the rainbow—from her first husband Joe’s deportation and the heartbreaking decision to end her marriage, to the devastating loss of her father and her unexpected journey to find love again with her husband Louie Ruelas—in her own words.
“While any one of these turning points would have been more than enough for one person to bear, Teresa endured them all under the relentless glare of reality TV. With cameras rolling and headlines following her every move, she found herself defending not only her choices, but her character under the pressure and scrutiny of the media, fans and her sometimes harshest critics—her sometimes harshest critics. The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
The description also claims that in the memoir, Teresa reflects on “two tumultuous decades in the public eye” and “revisits the greatest triumphs, heartbreaks, feuds and controversies of her life with a newfound perspective.”
“She opens up about the sacrifices that come with fame, the lessons she’s learned through failure and the wisdom she wishes she could share with her younger self,” it adds. “Most importantly, she reveals what it means to keep moving forward when the world expects you to turn the tables. Raw, funny, emotional and unapologetic, The Queen of New Jersey is the story of a woman who has been cast as everything from villain to victim, but refuses to let anyone else write her legacy. After all, if the crown fits, wear it.”
The book will be published in the autumn.
