Teresa Giudice hasn't been idle while serving her 15-month sentence in a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.

The 42-year-old Real Housewives Of New Jersey star is getting ready to release her tell-all book about her life from her humble beginnings as the daughter of Italian immigrants to life as a glitzy reality star.

Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again from Gallery Books will hit shelves on February 9 next year, People reported.

Telling all: Teresa Giudice is getting ready to release her tell-all memoir Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again that will include details about her lavish life as a Housewife to doing time in prison

Teresa's book will, of course, include insight on her current situation behind bars from the court ruling to serving hard time away from husband Joe Giudice and their four daughters.

While her spin-off show, The Real Housewife Of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In, covers some of her current circumstances, her bio is packed with a lot more, according to People.

The book will include details about her life growing up in an Italian-American family and starting her own family with Joe, whose jobs have included construction building and owning a restaurant.

'While we've all watched Teresa's life unfold on television, Turning the Tables will mark the first time we will hear all of Teresa's incredible life story, including her recent stint in prison,' publisher Jennifer Bergstrom told People of the book (which is being co-written by K.C. Baker, a staff writer for People).

This isn't Teresa's first published tome - she has authored the bestselling cookbooks Skinny, Italian, Fabulicious!, Fabulicious: Fast and Fit! and Fabulicious! On the Grill.

Teresa is scheduled to be released from prison early on December 23, People reported.

Phoning home: The reality star has been basically cut off from her four daughters, Gia, 14, Gabriella, 10, Milania, eight, and Audriana, five, communicating only via speaker phone from behind bars

That should be a relief to her four daughters, Gia, 14, Gabriella, 10, Milania, eight, and Audriana, five, who have been forced to communicate with their mother over speaker phone since she began her sentence in January.

The reality star began her prison sentence on January 5 of this year after she and Joe were convicted of 41 counts of fraud and tax charges.

Joe, 43, will serve his three-and-a-half year prison sentence after his wife is released. The business owner, who is not a US citizen, then faces possible deportation to Italy.

Meanwhile, Joe got into a frosty exchange with Teresa's brother Joe Gorga on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live.

When host Andy Cohen asked Gorga if he blamed Giudice for Teresa's incarceration, Gorga bluntly replied: 'Yes. Who am I going to blame?'

'I don’t know why he would blame me but everybody’s got their own opinion on things, ya know?' he told Cohen.

'I would blame more him than anybody. Coming on the show and talking all the c**p he talked,' the father of four added. 'All the years, with everything going on, I would blame more him than me.'
