Melania Trump is talking, sort of.

Set to hit shelves this fall is her first memoir, simply entitled “Melania.”

As per a release, the Skyhorse Publishing book will be “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence.”

The memoir will possibly reveal a few things we didn’t know about the native Slovenian, who was largely shrouded in mystery during her husband Donald Trump’s presidency. The mother of one has also shunned the spotlight during his run for office this year.

Much of what we know about the 54-year-old onetime model is from other people, like her former adviser (and friend) Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

The “Melania and Me” tell-all author revealed dirt like the ex FLOTUS’ alleged struggles with her stepdaughter Ivanka, whom Melania reportedly called “Princess” behind her back. Wolkoff also wrote about the secret to the Trumps’ long marriage is that “she is completely different than his [two] other wives,” and “doesn’t pressure him for things to do.”

We can’t promise that Melania will give up any more goods in this “intimate portrait,” but if you’re interested in her life story, the memoir is available for pre-order on her eponymous website, starting at $40. If you want a signed copy, that will run you $75. And for $150, the Collector’s Edition has bonus photographs never seen by the public as well as a digital collectible.

As per the AP, no information about the financial terms of Trump’s deal was given, or if she had help from a ghost writer.
