It is as if the disparate parts of her life - the public-policy part, the nerdy, abstruse-topic part and the popular-culture-consuming part - are finally coalescing. It is hard to imagine that anyone who followed the 2020 election does not know who Stacey Abrams is.Īnd so for her latest book, “ While Justice Sleeps,” a legal thriller about a Supreme Court justice whose descent into a coma plunges the court, and the country, into turmoil, Abrams, 47, has used her own name on a novel for the first time.
