Constance wants paid for the accident that destroyed their farm cart but instead she and her sisters get harassed and threatened by the head of a silk company. She takes steps to protect herself and her family. I enjoyed this book. Constance and her sisters are unusual for the period in which th...
Meh. This is not a bad book. I just didn’t click with it. I was drawn in by the fabulous premise (fictionalization of the adventures of a real-life female deputy sheriff in the early 1900’s), but I was bored by the narrator (Miss Constance Kopp, said real-life female deputy sheriff). She related a r...
There were moments that didn't flow as well as they might but this blend of fiction and fact was quite an interesting read. Constance and her sisters are involved in an accident involving themselves and a local businessman and they discover that the local businessman doesn't believe that the law app...
I hesitated over this book; a few friends thought it was so-so, but I was able to buy a copy at the library sale and I'm perfectly willing to pay a dollar for a story that might be just ok. Happily I didn't find it to be just so-so; I really, really enjoyed this book. I knew Amy Stewart could wri...

He looked up and said, in a loud, plain voice, "She's not a regular lady." That line is uttered in the final few pages of this novel, but it does a pretty good job of summing up Constance Kopp (and her two sisters, too). Fitting, really, for "of one of the nation’s first female deputy sheriffs." I...
Girl Waits with Gun looks at roughly a year in the life of the Capp sisters, Constance, Norma, and Fleurette, three "spinsters" of rural Bergen County, New Jersey. Constance, 35, handles the heavy work of the farm (she is six feet tall and very strong); Norma, 31, is obsessed with carrier pigeons, ...
When the three Kopp sisters drove into town, they had no idea it would unleash a crazy chain of events and a world of trouble. The combative owner of a local silk factory ran them down with his automobile, flipping and crushing their horse drawn buggy, and then refused to pay for the damages. Consta...
The three Kopp sisters, Constance, Norma and Fleurette live a quiet, reserved life on a farm in New Jersey in 1914. Most of their life they have been guarded and warned away from the outside world by their deceased mother. Now, they must deal with the outside world in a big way when one Henry Kauf...
". . . when Lucy grabbed me on the street in Paterson that day, I couldn't understand how anyone would take hold of a stranger and pour out their troubles. But now I realized that people did it all the time. They called for help. And some people would answer, out of a sense of duty and a sense of b...
