Sarah Huckabee Sanders Memoir Coming In 2020

Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has a book deal.

St. Martin�s Press announced Thursday that her memoir, currently untitled, will come out in Fall 2020. Sanders will write about her time in the Trump administration, �including the most dramatic and challenging moments,� and describe balancing an �all-consuming job� with raising a family.

�From Arkansas to the White House and back, I�m excited to tell my story about the challenges of being a working mom at the highest level of American politics, and my role in the historic fight raging between the Trump administration and its critics for the future of our country,� Sanders, who is married and has three young children, said in a statement.

Sanders, who stepped down this summer after roughly two years as press secretary, left on good terms with a president known for lashing out at departing officials.

The high regard of her former boss, who upon her announced departure called her �wonderful� and encouraged her to run for governor in her native Arkansas, was not shared by everyone. Her tenure was marked by a breakdown in regular press briefings and ongoing questions about the administration�s credibility, as well as her own.

At the White House Correspondents� Association dinner in 2018, comedian Michelle Wolf joked that Sanders �burned facts� to create the �perfect smoky eye.� Sanders, who was at the podium while Wolf made her comments, later said that she hoped the comedian could �find some of the same happiness that we all have� and that she remained committed to touting the �success story� of the administration.

The book will likely add to speculation that Sanders is planning to run in Arkansas, which votes for a new governor in 2022. Her father, Mike Huckabee, served as the state�s governor from 1996-2007.
