SEVNICA, Slovenia — It’s a short book, just 42 pages and some filled with photographs. But it goes a long way in explaining the facts about the strong, proud people who carved a small but free nation out of the former Communist Yugoslavia and produced one of the most famous women in the world: Melania Trump.

Author Sandi Gorisek doesn’t consider himself a writer, although he admits he is fond of dreaming up fairy tales to share with children.

“I’m a storyteller,” says Gorisek, who makes a living as a mechanical engineer in a town just a few miles away from Melania’s hometown of Sevnica.

But since Donald J. Trump decided to run for president — and then won — elevating his Slovenian wife to first lady, Gorisek had a “now or never” moment.

The result: Melania Trump; The Slovenian Side of the Story, a quick read full of historic facts, insightful observations, and revealing truths about a patriotic people who are tough survivors of Communism and enthusiastic entrepreneurs in their now free homeland.

Anyone from former Communists countries know what FAR too many Americans take for granted.

That devolving to the lowest common denominator in your society makes for misery and resentment.

Thank You for the heads up Whenifhow.

Ping to First Lady Melania's List.

A must read to understand Communist Yugoslavia and what has happened since it's fall in Slovenia.

Melania as opposed to the alternative

Melania's in the front row wearing the yellow butterfly outfit and pigtails :-)

[KC_Lion]

I should have used that picture in the ping.

Precious!

[Right_in_Virginia]

First row far right with brown socks

Third from the right. I can't get enough of her.

[alicewonders]

Even then, she stood out. I love our First Lady!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Is Melania the one with the yellow “hat”?

[Right_in_Virginia]

I wonder if the taller girl behind Melania (dressed just like her) is her sister .....

[nikos1121]

I think you’re right. Is that her behind her in the photo posted at #4?

[nikos1121]

Yes! Long legs

[maine-iac7]

not ‘taller’
Back row is standing on curb ;)

[Right_in_Virginia]

Is that her behind her in the photo posted at #4?

That would be my guess ... the other girl with the pigtails is probably her sister:
