<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this beautifully written and propulsive memoir, Huma Abedin--Hillary Clinton's famously private top aide and longtime adviser--emerges from the wings of American political history to take command of her own story.</b> <p/>The daughter of Indian and Pakistani intellectuals and advocates who split their time between Saudi Arabia, the UK, and the United States, Abedin grew up in many worlds. <i>Both/And</i> grapples with family, legacy, identity, faith, marriage, and motherhood with wisdom and sophistication. <p/>Abedin 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 the career would become an all-consuming way of life. Still in her twenties and thirties, she thrived in rooms with diplomats and sovereigns, entrepreneurs and artists, philanthropists and activists, and witnessed many crucial moments in 21st-century American history--Camp David for urgent efforts at Middle East peace in the waning months of the Clinton administration, Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attacks, the inauguration of the first African American president of the United States, the convention floor when America nominated its first female presidential candidate. <p/>Abedin's relationship with 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 Hillary Clinton as mentor, confidante, and role model. Abedin cuts through caricature, rumor, and misinformation to reveal a crystal-clear portrait of Clinton as a brilliant and caring leader a steadfast friend, generous, funny, hardworking, and dedicated. <i>Both/And</i> is a candid and heartbreaking chronicle of Abedin'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. <p/>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. <i>Both/And</i> describes Abedin's journey through the opportunities and obstacles, the trials and triumphs, of a full and complex life. Abedin's compassion and courage, her resilience and grace, her work ethic and mission are an inspiration to people of all ages. <p/>"This journey has led me through exhilarating milestones and devastating setbacks," said Abedin. "I have walked both with great pride and in overwhelming shame. It is a life I am--more than anything--enormously grateful for and a story I look forward to sharing."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Huma Abedin's <i>Both/And</i> is an extraordinary memoir about the most private and public things. With candor, insight, and courage, Abedin takes us boldly behind the scenes of many of the most important political events of the past quarter century and dazzlingly deep into the heart of the most poignant, powerful, and painful moments of her life--as a daughter, mother, wife, and top aide to Hillary Clinton. It's a story about loss and triumph, resilience and grit; about love, loyalty, and letting go. The writing is just gorgeous. I was gobsmacked."<br> --<b>Cheryl Strayed, author of the #1 <i>New York Times</i>Bestseller <i>Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail</i></b> <p/> "<i>Both/And </i>is an inspiring roadmap revealing how a little Brown girl from Kalamazoo, Michigan grew up to become a powerful political force navigating unimaginable rooms, relationships, and circumstances with incredible resiliency, stunning work ethic, and unwavering faith.

I've relied on her talents, wisdom, and counsel for a quarter-century. <i>Both/And </i>is the beautifully written account of a grand journey, and I'm so delighted she's chosen to share her story of grit and grace with the world."<br> <b>--Hillary Rodham Clinton</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Huma Abedin has spent her entire career in public service and national politics, beginning as an intern in First Lady Hillary Clinton's office in 1996.
