Melania Trump released a teaser for her upcoming memoir, promising to share "the truth" about her that Americans aren't getting from the media.
The book, titled Melania, is the first memoir from the reclusive former First Lady.
In a subtle rebuke of the media, Melania said she has been the target of "misrepresentation" over the years, and her new book will "clarify the facts."
“Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me,” Trump said in a video posted to social media on Thursday.
“As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts,” she said. “I believe it is important to share my perspective: The truth.”
The book, from Skyhorse Publishing, has an Oct. 8 release date. Fans can buy a signed copy at an additional cost, and there is also a collector's edition with "bonus photographs and a digital collectible."
"Melania is the powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has defined personal excellence, overcome adversity, and carved her own path,” the book's website says.
“The former First Lady invites readers into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life,” it continues, teasing “stories and images never before shared with the public.”

In stark contrast to her very vocal husband Donald Trump, Melania has long been a mysterious figure to the public. She has often been depicted as a reluctant wife and First Lady by a hostile, left-wing press.
After a gunman almost killed her husband in July, the former First Lady shared a vulnerable letter condemning the "monster" responsible.
"I am thinking of you, now, my fellow Americans," she wrote in the statement. "Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now."
With a few exceptions, she has been largely absent from the 2024 campaign trail, although she made an appearance at the Republican National Convention. Melania - making an elegant entrance as Beethoven played - did not speak at the event, which came days after the assassination attempt.
Now, the public will finally get her perspective on things, instead of the usual garbage rumors from the Trump-bashing media.
