Throughout a public career and marriage, HumaAbedin has remained an enigma, until now. lisaxmiller reports

Abedin was a witness to and participant in all this tumult but never the narrator of it. “When the TV cameras were swarming at events, I knew exactly where to linger to be close enough to help but just outside the camera’s frame,” she writes. Why would this mute guardian of secrets and schedules be compelled to write an autobiography? This answer, in large part, is Jordan, her son with Weiner. He is 9, and Abedin is mindful of the short span between now and his unfettered access to the internet.
Mostly, Abedin’s account is one of the loyal servant defending her boss while burnishing her legacy — contextualizing Hillary’s 2002 Senate vote to invade Iraq, for example, and standing up against the critique that she isn’t “likable.
Even before her wedding, Abedin had built a cult following with her beauty, her competence, and her silence. Each humiliation was thus a tabloid scoop, and the gossips wondered out loud why she was continuing to carry on with this loser. Once-loyal friends abandoned her, isolating her further, and her reflex to tough it out was reinforced by her professional responsibilities, which required almost inhuman physical endurance and psychic reserve.
“We are in the final stages of our divorce,” she answers. “Lawyers are doing their lawyer thing.” Weiner lives in her building, “very nearby.”
