Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of President Donald Trump, will publish a new book called “Raising Trump” for the Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books, the publisher announced Wednesday.

In the new book, due in stores on Sept. 12, Trump will reflect on her life and the raising of her three children — Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka — and recount the lessons she taught her children as they were growing up.

As her former husband has become the 45th president of the United States, his children have also been thrust into the media spotlight — but it is Ivana who raised them and instilled in them what she believes to be the most important life lessons: loyalty, honesty, integrity and drive.

Her three children will all contribute their own memories to the book, which is described as a “non-partisan, non-political book about motherhood, strength, and resilience.”

“Every day, people ask me how I raised such great kids,” Ivana Trump said in a statement. “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.’”

Gallery Books publisher Jennifer Bergstrom acquired North American, Open Market, and Audio rights from Dan Strone at the Trident Media Group. Nina Cordes at Gallery will edit the book.
