Former first lady Melania Trump on Thursday announced the release of her upcoming memoir, Melania, in which she invites readers “into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life.”
The book, released by Skyhorse Publishing, is set to come out this fall, coinciding with the presidential election, which will see her husband vying to make it into the Oval Office for a second time after four years of the Biden-Harris administration.

“Melania is the powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has defined personal excellence, overcome adversity, and carved her own path,” a description of the book on her website reads.

Their appearance came less than a week after an assassination attempt on Trump, which prompted her to release a touching statement.

“When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of devastating change,” she said at the time. “I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband.”
She ultimately called for unity, saying, “A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion — his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life — his human side — were buried below the political machine.”
