Stacy Parker Aab was born in Detroit in 1974, the only daughter of a Kansas farm girl and a young, African American, fresh from Vietnam. An excellent student, Stacy moved to Washington D.C. for college. She studied political communications, interned at The White House, and in 1997 she became part of The White House staff, serving as Paul Begala's special assistant. She enjoyed everything about her job and then in January, 1998, Monica Lewinsky became a household name and the world of the Clinton White House changed radically.
