The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is gearing up to release her newest memoir, The Queen of New Jersey.
Teresa took to Instagram to share her “exciting” news regarding 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’ve gone through some of the hardest moments of my life. My divorce. Losing my father. Learning how to stand on my own after twenty years. Dating again. Finding love again. Falling in love with Louie Ruelas, getting engaged, getting married, and having our relationship tested in some of the most public ways imaginable.”
Teresa noted 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 Gia, and lived through some of the craziest drama in Housewives history,” she continued. “And for the first time ever, I’m holding nothing back.”
Teresa stated she’s 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’m telling 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 something from the show I’ve wanted to set the record straight about, you’re going to 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, head to BallastBooks.com and pre-order your signed first-edition copy today,” she added. “Those copies will ship about a month before the general release, so you’ll 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 The Queen of New Jersey.”
In a video she posted to her Instagram, she spoke more about her upcoming book.
“The moment’s finally here, what I’ve been working on the past year. So excited. My third memoir, The Queen of New Jersey,” Teresa shared. “Today, pre-orders are available. Whoever orders today, go to ballastbooks.com. You’ll get a hardcover, by yours truly, 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 you guys, and thanks for all your love and support.”
In the official description for the book, it notes that “only a true queen can rise and fall again, sweetheart. 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’s finally taking 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 finding love again with her husband Louie Ruelas – in her own words.
“While any 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 television. With cameras rolling and headlines following her every move, she found herself defending not only her choices but also her character under the pressure and scrutiny of the media, fans, and her sometimes toughest critics—her castmates on 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 biggest triumphs, heartbreaks, feuds, and controversies of her life with 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 flip 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 is set to be released this fall.
