Former first lady Melania Trump’s memoir has rocketed to the top spot on multiple Amazon “best seller” lists, more than a month before it is scheduled to hit store shelves.
Melania Trump’s first memoir, “Melania,” is set to be released to the public on October 1, but pre-orders for it shot to the top of Amazon’s best-selling books list this weekend.
“Melania” is currently #1 in Amazon’s “Memoirs” category, #1 in Amazon’s “US Presidents” category, and #1 in Amazon’s “Biographies of Political Leaders” category.
“Writing my memoir has been an incredible journey, filled with emotional ups and downs,” the former first lady told Fox News Digital. “Each story has shaped who I am now.”

“Though it can be daunting at times, this process has been incredibly rewarding and reminds me of my strength and how amazing it is to share my truth,” she told Fox News Digital.

“The former first lady offers an intimate portrait of a woman who lived an extraordinary life and invites readers into her world,” the press release said. “Melania also shares personal stories and family images never before shared publicly.”
“Melania” will be available in two editions. The first will be published on October 1. The second edition, a “Collector’s Edition,” will be released at a later date. The memoir will be published by Skyhorse Publishing.

During her time as First Lady, Trump focused on strengthening the child welfare system, hosting a virtual roundtable on foster care as part of her “Be Best” campaign. She worked with members of Congress to craft legislation that would fund grants to help with college, trade school, and training costs for youth and young adults who are or have been in foster care. The legislation was ultimately signed by then-President Donald Trump in December 2020.
Since leaving the White House, the former first lady has also created a special edition non-fungible token (NFT), a portion of the proceeds of which will also be donated to “Fostering the Future,” her initiative to ensure educational opportunities and scholarships for children in the foster care community.

“Fostering the Future” students are currently enrolled at multiple universities across the country, primarily majoring in technology and computer science.
The former first lady also launched a jewelry line earlier this year paying tribute to “all mothers,” telling Fox News Digital that mothers are “the foundation of the American family.”
A portion of the proceeds from the jewelry line will be donated to her “Nurturing the Future” initiative.
