She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs, and has been isolated from the world since a family secret sent her and her sisters from city to country fifteen years ago. When a powerful, ruthless factory owner runs down their buggy, a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on their family farm. The sheriff enlists her help, and it turns out Constance has a knack for outwitting (and disarming) the criminal element which might just take her back out into the world and onto a new path in life. Quick-witted and full of madcap escapades, Girl Waits with Gun is a story about one woman rallying the courage to stand up for and grow into herself--with a little help from sisters and sheriffs along the way. Through Amy Stewart's exuberant storytelling, Constance Kopp catapults from forgotten historical anecdote to unforgettable historical fiction heroine-- an outsized woman not only ahead of her time, but sometimes even ahead of ours. 650 0 $a Sheriffs $v Fiction 650 0 $a Police $v Fiction 650 4 $a Women $v Fiction 650 4 $a Silk Workers' Strike, Paterson (NJ), 1913 $v Fiction 650 4 $a Black Hand (United States) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction 650 4 $a Organized crime $v Fiction 650 4 $a Audiobooks 651 1 $a New Jersey $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction 651 4 $a Paterson (NJ) $x History $v Fiction 655 4 $a Historical fiction 655 4 $a Biographical fiction 941 $a 2 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314012846.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808031749.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66C58638DF7B11E59A4F4D7DDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
