The #1 New York Times bestselling author of While Justice Sleeps
returns with another riveting and intricately plotted thriller, in
which a blackmailed federal judge, a secret court, and a brazen
murder may lead to an unprecedented national crisis. Supreme Court
clerk Avery Keene is back, trying to get her feet on solid ground
after unravelling an international conspiracy in While Justice
Sleeps. But as the sparks of Congressional hearings and political
skirmishes swirl around her, Avery is approached at a legal
conference by Preston Davies, an unassuming young man and fellow
law clerk to a federal judge in Idaho. Davies believes his boss,
Judge Francesca Whitner, was being blackmailed in the days before
she died. Desperate to understand what happened, he gives Avery a
file, a burner phone, and a fearful warning that there are highly
dangerous people involved. Another shocking murder leads Avery to a
list of names – all federal judges – and, alarmingly, all
judges on the FISA Court (the United States Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court), also known as America’s "secret court." It
is this body which grants permission to the government to wiretap
Americans or spy on corporations suspected of terrorism. As Avery
digs deeper, she begins to see a frightening pattern – and she
worries that something far more sinister may be unfolding inside
the nation’s third branch of government. With lives at stake,
Avery must race the clock and an unexpected enemy to find the
answer. Drawn from today’s headlines and woven with her unique
insider perspective, Stacey Abrams combines twisting plotlines, wry
wit, and clever puzzles to create another immensely entertaining
suspense novel.

"In Passionate for Justice, we find a compass that points us to the
future, where we can each give voice and action to justice, equity,
and life-giving community. Ida Wells would have had it no other
way." -From the Foreword by Stacey Abrams, 2018 Democratic Nominee
for Governor of Georgia Ida B. Wells was a powerful churchwoman and
witness for justice and equity from 1878 to 1931. Born enslaved,
her witness flowed through the struggles for justice in her
lifetime, especially in the intersections of African Americans,
women, and those who were poor. Her life is a profound witness for
faith-based work of visionary power, resistance, and resilience for
today's world, when the forces of injustice stand in opposition to
progress. These are exciting and dangerous times. Boundaries that
previously seemed impenetrable are now being crossed. This book is
a guide for the current state of affairs in American culture,
enlivened by the historical perspective of Wells' search for
justice. The authors are an African-American woman and a child of
white supremacy. Both have dedicated themselves to working,
writing, and developing ministries oriented toward justice, equity,
and mercy. This book can be used in all settings, but most
especially in churches (pastors and other church leaders, study
groups), seminaries, and universities.

Abrams's childhood, about the life-changing power of books.

Historians have long been engaged in telling the story of the
struggle for the vote. In the wake of recent contested elections,
the suppression of the vote has returned to the headlines, as
awareness of the deep structural barriers to the ballot,
particularly for poor, black, and Latino voters, has called
attention to the historical roots of issues related to voting
access. Perhaps most notably, former state legislator Stacey
Abrams's campaign for Georgia's gubernatorial race drew national
attention after she narrowly lost to then-secretary of state Brian
Kemp, who had removed hundreds of thousands of voters from the
official rolls. After her loss, Abrams created Fair Fight, a
multimillion-dollar initiative to combat voter suppression in
twenty states. At an annual conference of the Organization of
American Historians, leading scholars Carol Anderson, Kevin M.
Kruse, Heather Cox Richardson, and Heather Anne Thompson had a
conversation with Abrams about the long history of voter
suppression at the Library Company of Philadelphia. This book is a
transcript of that extraordinary conversation, edited by Jim Downs.
Voter Suppression in U.S. Elections offers an enlightening,
history-informed conversation about voter disenfranchisement in the
United States. By gathering scholars and activists whose work has
provided sharp analyses of this issue, we see how historians in
general explore contentious topics and provide historical context
for students and the broader public. The book also includes a "top
ten" selection of essays and articles by such writers as journalist
Ari Berman, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Blight, and
civil rights icon John Lewis.
