Synopsis

Ivana Trump reflects on her extraordinary life and the raising of her three children—Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka—and recounts the lessons she taught her children as they were growing up.

As her former husband serves as the 45th President of the United States, his children have also been thrust into the media spotlight—but it is Ivana who raised them and proudly instilled in them what she believes to be the most important life lessons: loyalty, honesty, integrity, and drive. Raising Trump is a non-partisan, non-political book about motherhood, strength, and resilience.

Though Ivana writes about her childhood in communist Czechoslovakia, her escape from the regime and relocation to New York, her whirlwind romance, and her great success as a businesswoman, the focus of the book is devoted to Ivana’s raising of her children. It also features contributions from her three children, as well as stories and lessons they value from their childhood.

This book was exactly what I needed to read right now. I laughed out loud multiple times because Ivana is frank, open & witty. It's easy to see why she & Donald were attracted to each other & also why they didn't last together. Obviously she raised some fantastic kids & her parenting advise is prett......more

I loved this book, and couldn't put it down, and just wanted it to continue. Ivana Trump tells about her life growing up in Communist Czechoslovakia, and how she excelled at skiing to be able to leave the country. She "married" a friend, an Austrian skier named Alfred Winklmayr, to be able to leave......more

Goodreads review by Marian on December 11, 2017

Ivana Trump is possessed of an outsized personality, an irreverent and opinionated outlook on life, and a huge love for her children and grandchildren. There wasn't much about Donald Trump in this book, and that was fine. What was interesting to me was reading about Ivana's childhood in communist Cz......more
