Review “An intensely personal guide that stands apart from the pack.”—Publishers Weekly

About the Author I was inspired to write this book because my blogs on Bravo were never posted for the Real Housewives shows.

This is my opportunity to focus on my next career and prepare myself for the next downsizing announcement.
