We see that behind the scenes Melania Trump is not only part of President Trump's inner circle, but for some key decisions she has been his single most influential advisor. Jordan interviewed key people in Melania's close circle who speak publicly for the first time and uncovered never-before-seen photos and tapes of the tall woman with \"tiger eyes,\" as a judge in an early modeling contest said. The Art of Her Deal shows Melania's ascent from a modest life, tracing her journey from childhood under a communist dictator to her complicated relationship with Donald Trump. The picture that emerges is \"that the first lady is not a pawn but a player... and a woman able to get what she wants from one of the most powerful and transparently vain men in the world\" (NPR). And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase \"the art of the deal,\" this is the story of the art of her deal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Jordan is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and a bestselling author.
