Â
Get ready, Sister Wives fans — the countdown has officially begun. Christine Brown Woolley is just weeks away from shaking the entire Brown family tree with the release of her highly anticipated tell-all memoir, Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom, set to hit shelves on September 2. And if the early buzz is anything to go by, Kody Brown better buckle up. Because Christine isn’t just telling her truth — she’s coming with receipts.
Christine has remained relatively composed over the years, even as Kody and Robyn spun narratives that painted her in a less-than-favorable light. But now, it’s her turn. Her book promises to dive deep into the dysfunction, favoritism, and emotional neglect that tore the Brown family apart — and fans are ready for the tea. After years of silence and restraint, Christine is reclaiming her voice, and she’s doing it on her own terms — and yes, she’s making sure it counts, emotionally and financially.
In a sneak peek she shared on Instagram, Christine gave fans a glimpse of what’s to come, reading an excerpt from the audiobook version of her memoir. The passage focused on a heartbreaking and telling moment from her sixth and final pregnancy with daughter Truely — a moment that’s been burned into the memories of long-time Sister Wives viewers.
According to Christine, when she went into labor, Kody chose to stop by Robyn’s house first to check on her and her kids — giving her a kiss and some of his time — before eventually arriving to support Christine during childbirth. This wasn’t just an oversight. It was, for many fans, the ultimate proof of where Kody’s priorities had truly shifted. The moment was caught on camera in Season 1 of Sister Wives, and it silently foreshadowed what would become a painful pattern of favoritism and neglect.
Fans who have followed the Browns from the beginning have long sensed that the cracks in the family were far deeper than they appeared. And with this memoir, Christine is finally confirming what so many have suspected — that her voice had been stifled for too long while Kody and Robyn dominated the narrative.
What makes this memoir especially monumental is that it marks the first time any of Kody’s wives has gone completely solo with a tell-all. While the family previously released a book together years ago, none of the women dared break away to share their side — until now. Christine is boldly stepping into the spotlight, and it’s clear she’s not holding back.
Christine and Kody’s relationship dates back to 1994, when she became his third wife, joining Meri and Janelle in the Brown family. Many viewers initially believed Christine’s marriage to Kody was rooted in faith and family values — but in recent years, she’s shed light on the truth behind the union. Christine has publicly cited several reasons for their split, including Kody’s lack of intimacy with her, his clear favoritism toward Robyn, his detachment from their shared children, and her own desire to move back to Utah and live life on her own terms.
By November 2021, Christine had had enough. She announced her separation from Kody and relocated to Salt Lake City. Since then, she’s rebuilt her life, married David Woolley, and finally found the happiness and stability that eluded her in her polygamous past. But this memoir signals that while Christine may have moved on, she hasn’t forgotten what she endured — and now, she’s telling it all.

The backlash Christine faced after recent Sister Wives seasons was intense. Despite her popularity, she gained critics who accused her of stirring drama or seeking attention. But her book may very well shift public opinion once again. Early reactions suggest fans are rallying behind her, grateful to finally hear the unfiltered truth about the family dynamics they’ve watched unravel for years.
And let’s be clear — while the book might “drag Kody for filth,” as fans excitedly claim, this isn’t about revenge. This is Christine’s truth. If that truth paints Kody in a less-than-flattering light, that’s on him. Her story is a reflection of her lived experience, her pain, and her growth. And judging by her calm but confident demeanor in the video snippets, Christine isn’t looking for pity — she’s looking to empower others who’ve felt unheard.
It’s also worth noting the growing contrast between how Christine has been treated in the media compared to Kody’s first wife, Meri. While Meri has frequently been portrayed as the long-suffering spouse, Christine’s struggles were often brushed under the rug — despite her being a devoted wife, mother, and “sister wife” for decades. For many fans, Christine’s memoir feels like a long-overdue acknowledgment of the strength and resilience she showed behind the scenes.
At this point, TLC has not confirmed whether Sister Wives will return for another season, leaving fans to speculate if the show’s future might be impacted by the explosive revelations in Christine’s book. But whether or not the cameras keep rolling, one thing is for certain: Christine’s voice is no longer in the background. She’s taking center stage.
For those eager to dive into every juicy detail, the book is currently available for pre-order. And for fans who can’t wait for release day, Christine’s social media teasers — particularly the clips of her recording the audiobook — have only added fuel to the fire.
Ultimately, Christine’s memoir isn’t just a takedown. It’s a declaration of independence. It’s about a woman who gave decades of her life to a system that didn’t serve her, finally standing up and saying, “This is what really happened.” And for long-time viewers of Sister Wives, it’s a must-read that promises to shift perspectives and maybe even redefine the legacy of the show itself.
So mark your calendars: Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom drops September 2. Whether you’re a die-hard Christine supporter or a skeptic waiting to see what all the fuss is about, one thing’s clear — this book is going to make waves. And Kody Brown? He might just be in the eye of the storm.
