Titel: Both/And
Auteur: Huma Abedin
ISBN: 9781471172977
Conditie: Als nieuw

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.
