Description
Melania and Me by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff
The former director of special events at Vogue and producer of nine legendary Met Galas,
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff met Melania Knauss in 2003 and had a front row seat to the
transformation of Donald Trump’s then girlfriend from a rough-cut gem to a precious diamond.
As their friendship deepened over lunches at Manhattan hot spots, black-tie parties, and
giggle sessions in the penthouse at Trump Tower, Wolkoff watched the newest Mrs. Trump
raise her son, Barron, and manage her highly scrutinized marriage.
After Trump won the 2016 election, Wolkoff was recruited to help produce the 58th Presidential
InauguÂration and to become the First Lady’s trusted advisor. Melania put Wolkoff in charge of
hiring her staff, organizing her events, helping her write speeches, and creating her debut initiatives.
Then it all fell apart when she was made the scapegoat for inauguration finance irregularities.
Melania could have defended her innocent friend and confidant, but she stood by her man,
knowing full well who was really to blame. The betrayal nearly destroyed Wolkoff.
In this candid and emotional memoir, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff takes you into Trump
Tower and the White House to tell the funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking story of her intimate
friendship with one of the most famous women in the world, a woman few people truly understand.
