Non-Fiction Memoir
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.”
