In Raising Trump, Ivana Trump reflects on her extraordinary life and the raising of her three childrenDonald Jr., Eric, and Ivankaand recounts the lessons she taught her children as they were growing up.
As her former husband takes his place as the 45th President of the United States, his children have also been thrust into the media spotlightbut 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. Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump will all contribute their own memories to the book.
Every day, people ask me how I raised such great kids. They are truly amazed when I tell them that there was no magic to their upbringing. I was a tough and loving mother who taught them the value of a dollar, not to lie, cheat, or steal, respect for others, and other life lessons that I'll share now in Raising Trump, along with unfiltered personal stories about Don, Eric, and Ivanka from their early childhood to becoming the first sons and daughter.'

REVIEW:
This book was delightful - loved every word! I had a good laugh when she went into Taco Bell and ordered a glass of Chablis. I have so much respect for Ivana for her perseverance, strength, determination and never say die attitude. She raised three great kids while working full time. Yes, she had help but she made sure her children were surrounded with reliable, good people. She also made sure she taught them values and made them work and earn their money. She was able to overcome so much by pushing away bad feelings and working with her children's father to raise them right.
