Girl Waits with Gun

Constance Kopp is not your typical woman of 1914. She stands nearly six feet tall, has no interest in marriage, and lives a quiet, secluded life with her sisters on a farm—until a powerful, silk-factory owner runs his car into their buggy. When the man begins a campaign of intimidation and death threats, Constance refuses to back down.

Based on the true, incredible story of one of America’s first female deputy sheriffs, Amy Stewart weaves a rich, atmospheric tale of grit and justice. Set against a backdrop of rain-slicked roads and old-world shadows, this is a masterful blend of historical fiction and "Country Noir" that proves some women are too big for the boxes society builds for them.
