Teresa Giudice's transformation from housewife to prison inmate is a story in itself, and the Real Housewives of New Jersey star is taking advantage of that.

Giudice is finishing serving the last bit of her 15-month-sentence she was ordered after being convicted of fraud, passing the time by writing a tell-all memoir about her life, according to People.

The reality star—who is serving time at the Danbury, Conn., federal penitentiary—wants to chronicle her entire life's story in a book titled Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again, which will depict all the ups, downs and in-betweens of her journey thus far.

"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", says publisher Jennifer Bergstrom.

The book will begin with Giudice's upbringing in a humble Italian-American home and will journey into her life as a mother to four daughters—Gia, 14, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 6—and wife to husband Joe Giudice, their lavish life (both on-screen and off) and how she eventually wound up behind bars.

Giudice already has some experience in the literary department, being a New York Times bestselling author with her cooking and lifestyle books Skinny, Italian, Fabulicious!, Fabulicious: Fast and Fit! and Fabulicious! On the Grill.

Meanwhile, Giudice also has a special in the works with Bravo that will depict her life behind bars. The show, Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In, will depict a bit of what she and her family experienced as they checked her into prison to serve her 15-month sentence.

Giudice pleaded guilty to financial fraud in March 2014 and began serving her sentence in January of this year. She will be released on Dec. 23.

(E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
