Publisher's Synopsis
University Press returns with another short and captivating portrait of one of history's most compelling figures, Mary Trump.
Mary Trump is a renowned psychologist and one of the most accomplished American authors of the 21st century. She is a harsh critic of her grandfather, Fred Trump Sr, and of a toxic family ethos he inspired. Just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, her book, Too Much and Never Enough, sold a staggering one million copies on its first day on sale and sent shockwaves through the American political landscape. It painted a damning picture of her uncle, Donald, offered a stark warning to voters about his fitness for Presidential office, and set off a national firestorm of controversy. Born in New York City to Fred Trump Jr, a commercial pilot, and Linda Lee Clapp, a flight attendant, Mary Lea Trump lost her father to alcohol when she was just 16, studied literature at Columbia University, earned her PhD in clinical psychology, taught graduate courses, married a woman, gave birth to a daughter, founded a life coaching company, supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, became a best-selling author, and revealed the unique inner workings of the Trump family. This short book tells the intensely human story of a woman who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
