Her tiny prison cubicle in Connecticut felt so far removed from the glamorous world portrayed on \u003ci\u003eThe Real Housewives of New Jersey\u003c\/i\u003e. What was a skinny Italian to do?

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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The world will see a new Teresa.
