Monique Samuels has a new memoir and personal growth book on the way.
The Real Housewives of Potomac star has written Love Letters from Versions of Myself: A Memoir of Self-Discovery, Transformation, & Healing, a collection of unfiltered tales from her life coupled with the spiritual guidance that helped Samuels move forward. Set to debut on Jan. 4, Love Letters from Versions of Myself will be the center of Samuels’s sip-n-read event with the whole cast in the show’s episode 13, which premieres the same day.
In Love Letters from Versions of Myself, Samuels promises a candid look at the life viewers have witnessed on the show, with each of seven chapters framed through a love letter addressed to her past, present and future selves.

Samuels also details the methods and practices she adopted to find tranquility, and through her book, encourages readers to follow the same path. The memoir, which is also a “personal development guide to gain clarity and healing,” traces Samuels’s struggles with marriage and divorce, becoming a business owner, her journey as a mother and her “quest for authenticity and peace.”
“Using the ancient steps of alchemy and shadow work, I guide you through the same transformative path that led me to healing, self-love and inner peace,” the book’s synopsis reads. “Each chapter ends with a heartwork exercise that invites you to look within, confront your truth and craft your own evolution.”
The book contains prompts and exercises throughout, including space for readers to write their own love letters to themselves.
In a statement, Monique tells PEOPLE her book will help “uncover a version of you waiting to be unleashed.”
“Prepare to show gratitude to the old you as you step into this new, unfamiliar version of yourself, fueled by self-love, wholeness and acceptance,” she says. “Your journey to becoming the best version of YOU begins here, one love letter at a time.”
