Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump hasn’t been in the spotlight as much as some of her other family members, but she’s suddenly getting a lot of attention.

ICYMI: Mary is trying to release a tell-all book about her famous uncle called Too Much and Never Enough. The president and his brother Robert Trump have been fighting a legal battle to prevent the book's release, but publisher Simon & Schuster says it now plans to release the book two weeks early, on July 14th, per CNN.

Naturally, the book has raised a lot of questions about Mary. Here’s the 411 on Donald’s only niece.

She’s the daughter of Donald’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr.

Mary’s father died in 1981 at age 42 from a heart attack caused by alcoholism, according to Forbes. Mary has one sibling—her brother, Fred III.

She’s well-educated.

Mary has Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in English Literature from Tufts University and Columbia University, and she has a Ph.D in clinical psychology from Adelphi University, per Forbes.

This isn’t her first book.

Mary is listed as a contributor on a 2002 book called Diagnosis: Schizophrenia. A Comprehensive Resource for Patients, Families and Helping Professionals. The book was technically written by Rachel Miller and Susan E. Mason, and Mary was a doctoral student at Adelphi’s Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at the time.

She’s pretty private.

At least, as far as Trumps go. Mary has a Twitter account but she hasn’t posted on it since 2018. She seems to be more liberal than her family, though—her bio says “Black Lives Matter” and she has an emoji of the LGBTQ flag.

She’s not afraid to be a whistle-blower.

According to the Daily Beast, Mary shares in her book that she was the main source for The New York Times' 2018 investigation that found Trump helped his parents dodge taxes in the 1990s. Those actions, the investigation found, helped him to build up a fortune.

Her book is going to be explosive.

According to Simon & Shuster, Mary’s book “shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.”
