Set in 1914, Girl Waits with Gun (Kopp Sisters #1/7) by Amy Stewart opens with Henry Kaufman driving his motor car
into Constance Kopp and her two sisters’ buggy. Constance demands $50 for the
damages. Instead of paying, Mr. Kaufman
and his thugs harass the sisters who live alone on an isolated farm. With the
help of Sheriff Heath, the sisters are armed. They defend themselves. A historical
novel about a strong woman.
Interesting note: This is the third book in a row with female protagonists who are armed. The Litter of the Law by Rita Mae Brown and Queen Anne's Lace by Susan Wittig Albert.
Miss Constance Kopp is six feet tall. When Mr. Kaufman doesn’t have his thugs to back him up, he is intimidated by Miss Constance Kopp. From Mr. Kaufman’s trial: “Coerced?” said Attorney Lynch with a smile. “By what means were you coerced?” Mr. Kaufman looked around until he found me. “She was there!” he said, rising and pointing at me. “She trapped me and forced me…”
“THIS IS A WORK OF HISTORICAL FICTION based on real events and real people. … All of the major events described in the novel actually happened, with a few notable exceptions…”
