Melania Trump to Tell Her Story in Memoir, "Melania," Scheduled for This Fall —Associated Press.
Chapter 1.
Metamucil Dreams. As a little girl in Slovenia, I had the same dreams as any child: to immigrate to America on a bogus "genius visa," to model acrylic sweaters in a catalogue, and to meet a rich man almost twice my age and enter into a financially advantageous marriage with as little physical contact as possible. I'd have my Barbie doll flirt with a small boulder, asking the boulder, "So, you're separated?" People would warn me, "Dreams don't always come true," to which I'd reply, "Yeah, like once I'm rich T'll ever talk to you again."
Chapter 2. Education. Blah, Blah.
I believe that education is critical to any person's success in life, which is why I enrolled at college for a year until I realized I was expected to take classes, so I dropped out. Donald claims I speak at least five languages, although no one has ever heard me do this. But, for all you know, right now I might be yelling at my maid to iron my capes more carefully in Spanish or German or whatever French people speak.
Chapter 5. Early Days of Struggle and Cabs
