1 How would you describe Avery’s relationship with Justice Wynn before his coma?

​2How did Avery’s character change and evolve over the course of the novel as she solved the riddle Justice Wynn left behind?

3 Justice Wynn was very challenging to work for, he challenged and demeaned nearly everyone. We’re you surprised at Avery decision? 4 As she begins to grapple with her role as legal guardian, Avery meets Justice Wynn’s son, Jared, and also contends with her own relationship with her mother. How do family dynamics play a role in the novel? How do you think Avery’s abilities and personality type were affected by her experiences with her mother?

4 What were your thoughts about the mother daughter relationship between Avery and Rita Keene?

5 If you could speak with Stacey Abrams about the novel, what would you say to her?

​6 Who was your favorite character in the novel? Why?

​7 If you were in Avery’s shoes, would you have accepted the role of legal guardian? Why or why not?

​8 How do politics and ethics play a role in the plot? How do the characters of the novel grapple with the intersection of both?

​9 Do you think the political landscape in the U.S. of the last several years played into Stacey Abrams’ inspiration?

10 Do you think any of the characters were based on a real person?

11 How do you think author Stacey Abrams’ experience in politics shaped While Justice Sleeps?
