In 2019, the massively successful Netflix docu-series Selling Sunset took the world by storm, immersing viewers in the lives of the brokers selling luxury L.A. real estate at the Oppenheim Group. At the heart of the show is actress, reality television star, and luxury real estate agent Chrishell Stause, who immediately became a fan favorite for her charisma and unwavering genuineness. Recently, Stause added author to her impressive list of accolades, as she just released her new memoir, Under Construction, where she reveals the intimate details of her life and career prior to becoming a reality star and a real estate agent. In the memoir, Stause delves deeper into the tangible lessons she has learned throughout her experience, delivering the important message to stay resilient and optimistic no matter how many times life may knock you down—an ethos she clearly lives by. 

The memoir also includes never-before-told stories about her first career life in daytime soap operas. Stause made a name for herself within the industry, acting in notable soap operas such as All My Children, where she played her character Amanda Dillion for 509 episodes, and Days of Our Lives. Stause also starred in the Netflix thriller Staged Killer and was on season 29 of Dancing With the Stars.
