She brings her life experience and pragmatic outlook to tough questions about family, friendship, love, and more.

With wit and wisdom, Manzo opens up about life, family, raising children, love, and aging. Let Me Tell You Something: Life as a Real Housewife, Tough-Love Mother, and Street-Smart Businesswoman includes personal color photographs and lots of sage advice.

• Old-School Italian Family Values: Why Sunday dinners, fierce loyalty, and family traditions are the glue that holds everything together, even when things get crazy.
• Behind the Scenes of Reality TV: The unvarnished truth about catfights, fame, and staying true to yourself when the cameras are rolling on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
