The Naked Truth: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewife of New Jersey--In Her Own Words
THE NAKED TRUTH
A MEMOIR
DANIELLE STAUB
WITH STEVEN PRIGGE
Note to Readers:
This work is a memoir. Events, actions, experiences, and their consequences over
a period of years have been retold as the author presently recollects them. Some
names and identifying characteristics have
been changed, and some dialogue has been re-created from memory. Some scenes are composites of events, and the time
line for some events has been compressed.
