Who Could Ever Love You

“By turns lyrical and stark, Mary Trump writes with honesty, anguish, and unflinching detail about growing up in a family that made a sport of destroying its own. Who Could Ever Love You lays bare the Trump dynastic traumas and demonstrates how those traumas now hold sway over all of us. Mary Trump has written a brilliant memoir.”–Molly Jong-Fast

“This memoir is the portrait of a spark– is it love, or God, or decency?– the spark inside the rare person that can grow in the hardest ground, the sandiest soil. I honestly don’t know how someone can withstand such a thoroughly poisonous stew of a family dynamic and come out the other end such an intelligent, caring and perspicacious human being. That Mary Trump exists is nothing short of a miracle.”–Aimee Mann, Grammy Award-winning musician

“Trump’s clear and concise prose shines…an astute and occasionally explosive plunge into an American dynasty’s heart of darkness.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review

“With raw authenticity and bracing detail… [Trump] peels back the traumatic layers of her early life…[She] doesn’t skimp on the jarring, revelatory details of her toxic family, telling her truths with lucidity…[A] scathing expose of the enduring fallout from a poisonous, dysfunctional family dynamic.” – Kirkus, starred review

“Heart-wrenching…devastating and beautifully painted.” –People

“Vivid…telling detail.” –Washington Post

“Unsparing…engrossing…franker than she’s ever been about the emotional toll her family’s savagery took on her.” –Los Angeles Times
