In this beautifully written and propulsive memoir, Huma
Abedin-Hillary Clinton's famously private top aide and longtime
advisor-emerges from the wings of American political history to
take command of her own story. The daughter of Indian and Pakistani
intellectuals and advocates, Huma grew up in the United States and
Saudi Arabia and travelled widely. Both/And grapples with family,
legacy, identity, faith, marriage, motherhood-and work-with wisdom,
sophistication and clarity. Huma launched full steam into a college
internship in the office of the First Lady in 1996, never imagining
that her work at the White House would blossom into a career in
public service, nor that her career would become an all-consuming
way of life. She thrived in rooms with diplomats and sovereigns,
entrepreneurs and artists, philanthropists and activists, and
witnessed many crucial moments in 21st century American history.
Huma's relationship with Hillary Clinton has seen both women
through extraordinary personal and professional highs, as well as
unimaginable lows. Here, for the first time, is a deeply personal
account of Clinton as mentor, confidante and role model. Huma cuts
through caricature, rumour and misinformation to reveal a crystal
clear portrait of Clinton as a brilliant and caring leader, a
steadfast friend, generous, funny, hardworking and dedicated.
Both/And is a candid and heartbreaking chronicle of Huma's marriage
to Anthony Weiner, what drew her to him, how much she wanted to
believe in him, the devastation wrought by his betrayals-and their
shared love for their son. It is also a timeless story of a young
woman with aspirations and ideals coming into her own in
high-pressure jobs and a testament to the potential for women in
leadership to blaze a path forward while supporting those who
follow in their footsteps. Huma's journey through the opportunities
and obstacles, the trials and triumphs, of a full and complex life
is a testament to her profound belief that in an increasingly
either/or world, she can be both/and. Huma's compassion and
courage, her resilience and grace, her work ethic and mission are
an inspiration to people of all ages.
