Without the Trump name attached, this would still be a moving (if somewhat disjointed) look at a sad childhood. But Trump’s readers get it by now. In her family, cruelty was a feature not a bug.
With raw authenticity and bracing detail, she painstakingly reveals the devastating psychological impact of the Trump clan's outraged reaction to her first tell-all ... Another scathing exposé of the enduring fallout from a poisonous, dysfunctional family dynamic.
The material can be astonishingly bleak, but Trump’s clear and concise prose shines, and she has a well-trained eye for the melancholy that runs through her family. It’s an astute and occasionally explosive plunge into an American dynasty’s heart of darkness.
