Non-Fiction Memoir
Meet the Real Danielle…You’ve seen her on The Real
Housewives of New Jersey, turning heads, raising eyebrows,
and igniting feuds with her feisty suburban neighbors. Now,
the always fascinating Danielle Staub gets real about her
scandalous past in the year’s most explosive tell-all
memoir. . . .When she signed on to appear in a reality TV
show, Danielle had no idea what she was getting herself
into. Hoping for a new lease on life after her recent
divorce, the single mother of two became the target of
vicious gossip, heated arguments, and endless controversy.
When her housewife costars confronted her with the true
crime book written about her ex-husband, the you-know-what
hit the fan. Danielle knew she could no longer keep her
checkered past a secret—and she had to set the record
straight.This is the real Danielle Staub, in her own words,
as you’ve never seen her before. The child of an unmarried
Italian teenager, Danielle was born in Pennsylvania (under
the name Beverly Merrill) after her mother was pressured by
her well-to-do family to leave Italy and not return until
after she’d put her baby up for adoption.After years of
sexual abuse, she fled to Miami, where she became a model,
living the kind of lifestyle she could only dream of as a
child. She partied like a rock star and with them as well,
but ended up marrying a deceitful man who held dangerous
secrets of his own. Soon Danielle was caught up in a tangled
web of lies, drugs, and abuse that landed her in the
hospital more than once. How she survived—leaving her
husband, changing her name, and finally giving birth to two
lovely daughters—is one shocking story you have to read to
believe. If you thought The Real Housewives of New Jersey
gave you the real story of Danielle Staub, you don’t
know the half of it. Filled with glamour and grit,
heartbreak and heroism, this brave, no-holds-barred memoir
reveals the naked truth behind reality TV’s most
talked-about star. “You either love me or you hate me,
there is no in between .” —Danielle Staub For the
