As a writer at Vanity Fair covering the Trump family, Emily Jane
Fox has spent the last year doing a deep dive into the lives of the
President's children. Born Trump is the explosive narrative of her
findings as an insider within the most influential family in
America. Journalist Emily Jane Fox has developed a personal
relationship with Ivanka and has cultivated sources close to Eric,
Donald Jr., and Tiffany. She has scoured their Instagram accounts,
combed through all their public speeches, spoken to their childhood
friends, college acquaintances, business associates, close
advisors, and campaign operatives. She's become the foremost expert
on the Trump kids and, now, in this exclusive account, Fox
chronicles the experiences of the Trump children, individuals who
possess more control than any other First Children in the history
of the presidency. Wonderfully gossipy, Born Trump examines what
shaped the Trump children into who they are - a shared familial
history that will inevitably form American history in the coming
years. Born Trump explores what it was like to grow up Trump and
what this reveals about living in Trump's America, in turn painting
an intimate portrait of the 45th President of the United States
from the perspective of his most inner circle. Given their father's
need to be in the spotlight, his bellicose and litigious nature,
and how often his personal life played out in public, it seems
astonishing that his children remain so close to him. And yet this
is part of the Trump ethos - like royalty, they stand together,
encased not in palaces, but in Trump Tower. Fox looks at the
childhood privileges and traumas, the individual adolescences and
early adulthoods that have been lightly chronicled in the tabloids
but never detailed thoughtfully or in depth, the family business
that brought them back together and the dynamics therein, the
campaign that tested the family in ways the children could not have
imagined, and now, the wide-open slate in front of them in
Washington, D.C. Full of surprising insights and previously untold
stories, Born Trump will quench the ever-increasing desire for a
greater understanding of who these people are, how they were
raised, and what makes them tick.

This is the story of a small black boy and his indomitable white
mother's courageous battle against Aids. Nkosi's biological mother
was dying when Gail Johnson took the two-year-old into her home. We
are shown a moving portrait of a fight that is both intensely
personal - as mother and son work to keep Nkosi's ailing immune
system from collapsing - and regrettably political, as they engage
government policy and the ignorance of a sector of their community.
Nkosi has become an international icon on issues related to
HIV/Aids and children's rights. He was posthumously awarded The
World's Children's Prize for the Rights of Children - commonly
referred to as 'The Children's Nobel Prize'.
Fat and over forty, Ethne is not happy. In a flat above, thin and
over forty, Derek is frightened. Mortimer comes into their lives
with panache and pathos, and spins fantasies for them through which
they discover surprising strengths within themselves. The saintly
dog Rabinowitz, the slobbish bully-boy Percy, the nicotine-stained
junk-dealer Olive, all contribute to the unfolding drama of what
may well be the supreme moment of their lives, and "Mother"
crouches malevolently in the corner, hoping to entrap them in her
egotistical web. This humorous, absorbing story deals with a
variety of stressful human problems including love (requited and
unrequited), sinister religions, astral travel, the Big C, dog
training and homophobia, made all the more poignant by its
lightness of touch. The tale is set in the eastern suburbs of
Johannesburg, but could equally well have taken place in New York,
Sydney or London.
