Melania Trump announced her revealing memoir in a dramatic black-and-white video, saying it was time to share her perspective: “the truth.”
Her book, simply titled ‘Melania’, will be released on October 1st. It will be available for pre-order on Amazon for $30.
“Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me,” she said in a video posted to her social media accounts.
“As a private individual who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts. I believe it is important to share my perspective: the truth.”
Melania Trump has released a dramatic video to promote her upcoming memoir
The 48-second video begins with the former first lady speaking directly to the camera. It also features scenes from her time in the White House, including her trip to Africa and her work on her Be Best campaign.
There are also some photos from her modeling days and as a young mother with her son Barron. Donald Trump is featured.
The video is in black and white with dramatic music.
Melania Trump announced in July that she would release her memoirs, a shocking announcement from the normally reticent first lady.
In the book, she looks back on her Slovenian childhood, the defining moments that led her to the world of haute couture in Europe and New York, and the chance meeting with Donald Trump, a chance encounter that changed the course of her life forever, according to the summary.
‘Melania opens up about their courtship, life in the spotlight and experiencing the joys of motherhood. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the White House, and highlights her work as an advocate and the causes close to her heart.’
She is selling two editions: a $150 collector’s edition with 256 full-color pages, with each copy signed by the author. The memoir edition will be 304 pages and available for $40 with signed copies available for $75.
“Melania” is published by Skyhorse Publishing, which published former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz, among others.
Many biographies and books have been written about the former first lady, but this is the first time she tells her story.
It’s unclear whether she’s worked with a co-author or whether she’s going on a book tour.
Melania Trump, 54, is something of an enigma in public life.
Donald Trump’s third wife is very much introverted and spent much of her time in the White House raising her son Barron, who was still a teenager at the time.
Her son is now a student at New York University’s Stern School of Business, and her husband is running for a second term in the White House.
Melania Trump’s memoirs are selling for $30, while a special edition is selling for $150
