The business has been with the family for more than thirty years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Caroline is affiliated with several charities, including SCTNow, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within U.S. borders, CROC, a foundation for helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, and Wounded Warrior Project.

Same condescending point of view as seen on RHONJ. Was hoping for something for different.

Same "holier than thou" attitude thought this would be different and is not.

Don't waste you time or money. I love you Caroline, but you cannot write! the margins are so large in some area, this is a 183 nook book that is really 100 pages. And hse just keeps repeating the same stuff over and over again.
Sorry.

For a 51 year old mother of three on a hit reality show, Caroline Manzo should have more to "tell".
The book is based on questions asked of her via email or presumably her radio show. Throughout there is a sprinkling of 'Ask Caroline' - fans asking advice. But I wouldn't consider this a memoir.
As a RH fan, Caroline was never my favorite housewife but I could tell she was an excellent wife and mother. As probably most of those who watch the show mirror my opinion and a lot of her 'advice' is related to she being a good wife and mother. And kudos for her for stating - "my husband comes first"!
My problem with the book is that she comes from a large Italian American family and said next to nothing about any of her siblings - even Dina, who she had been estranged from. There's really no substance. And, if looking for any insights into the show or gossip, you won't find it here. The only information she shares is her self-stroking "the RH staff is like family" and how she makes sure they're fed and gives them gifts at Christmas. In fact, there's a lot of self-stroking in this book - probably trying to justify herself to critics.
Caroline's book is short but I commend her on writing a book and getting it published.
