NATIONAL BESTSELLER. The first in the Kopps Sisters Novel Series, Girl Waits with Gun is an enthralling novel based on the forgotten true story of one of the nation’s first female deputy sheriffs.

Constance Kopp doesn’t quite fit the mold. 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 into hiding fifteen years ago. One day when a powerful, ruthless silk factory owner runs down their buggy, a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats. The sheriff enlists her help, and it turns out Constance has knack for outwitting (and disarming) the criminal element that 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 catapults Constance Kopp from forgotten historical anecdote to unforgettable historical fiction heroine—an outsized woman not only ahead of her time but sometimes, even, ahead of ours.
