Any guesses? It’s Donald’s niece Mary Trump!

The three have been working on a serialized romance novel, and the first part of it was released on Substack on June 2 called The Italian Lesson. Per the New York Times, the book is about “an American woman with a secret past who tries to reinvent herself in Tuscany, where she opens a cafe and meets a handsome local vineyard owner” — and we’re sure with a premise like that, it’s already got quite a few avid readers hooked.

The book is currently being distributed through their Substacks, which is a subscription-based newsletter.

Now, you may be asking yourselves: how did these three meet? Well, they met in a virtual knitting circle over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic, and kept in touch all these years later.

For those that aren’t aware of Mary, she is a bestselling author of multiple books, with her most well-known being Too Much and Never Enough, which heavily criticizes the controversial Trump family. She’s also well-known as a psychologist and podcaster on the show The Mary Trump Show.
