via Bravo's Press Release:t's a season of change for this Garden State clan as each member takes a step towards independence, leaving Caroline to find out if she has succeeded in her beloved role as the Manzo Matriach. As Lauren prepares to wed fiancé Vito, Caroline and Al cope with the feeling of losing their only daughter and wonder if she is ready to face a new life without daddy's credit cards. Meanwhile, Albie and Chris have decided it's time to break free from their inseparable past as they each set out to pursue their own professional and personal dreams. Chris decides to make his lifelong passion of becoming a children's book author a reality and moves out of the house and back to Hoboken for some creative space, leaving his older brother to fend for himself. Nevertheless, Albie is hoping to hit the "jackpot" with his latest entrepreneurial endeavor, exploring Colorado's cannabis business. Caroline wants nothing more than for her boys to be happy, but their choices of legal marijuana and children's books leave her feeling extremely uneasy. With the nuptials fast approaching, the Manzos also spend more time getting further acquainted with their soon-to-be in-laws, the Scalias; a family just as sharp-tongued, but even more traditional in their Italian ways than the Manzos. These two families go on a joint vacation to the Amalfi Coast just weeks before the big day, but their relationship may be more olive oil and water than spaghetti and meatballs. With everyone moving in different directions, the Manzos might not always see eye-to-eye, but they remain thick as thieves.

is the epitome of a strong New Jersey woman. Always putting family first, she is a devoted wife and mother of three children, Albie, 28; Lauren, 26; and Christopher, 25. Caroline has been married for more than 30 years to her husband Albert who runs The Brownstone, a very successful catering facility in Paterson, NJ. The business has been with the family for over 30 years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Although Caroline spends the majority of her time managing the household, her family has been known to run her ragged as she supports BLK Water, Brownstone Sauce, and Cafface Beauty Bar. Caroline is affiliated with several charities including SCTNOW, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within our own borders, CROC, a foundation dedicated to helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, Wounded Warriors Project and The PG Chambers School, a NJ facility dedicated to educating children with physical and mental disabilities. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all -- family, friends, and a career. In her opinion, that is what makes her a "Real Housewife" of New Jersey.
