Lady Cop Makes Trouble (2016) is the second. When the sheriff enlists her help in convicting the men, Constance is forced to confront her past and defend her family-and she does it in a way that few women of 1914 would have dared. One day a belligerent and powerful silk factory owner runs down their buggy, and a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on their family farm. 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. 10, Ocean County Library, 101 Washington St.Girl Waits with Gun (Kopp Sisters Series, 1)Īn enthralling novel based on the forgotten true story of one of the nation’s first female deputy sheriffs.Ĭonstance Kopp doesn’t quite fit the mold. 9, Watchung Booksellers, 54 Fairfield St., MontclairĪND: 7 p.m. 8 at Word Bookstore, 126 Franklin St., Brooklyn, New YorkĪLSO: 7 p.m. WHAT: The new historical novel by Amy Stewart, available now from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. I’m working on another novel now, and it’s just about ready to go.” “They went on to do some very interesting things, so definitely stay tuned. “But, what I wanted was a way into Henry Kaufman’s factory and into his world, and I wanted a way to indulge my fascination with the silk strikes a little bit more, so that’s what she provided.”Īfter so much time and effort researching the Kopp family’s history, Stewart also said she isn’t done telling the sisters’ story just yet. “She’s an entire character and an entire plotline that’s invented,” Stewart said. One of those deviations is the creation of an original character, silk-dyeing factory worker Lucy Blake, who serves as entry point for Stewart to discuss the 1913 Paterson silk strike. “I made a few small deviations that are explained in the back (of the book), but very minor things.” “Everything I know about them that actually occurred is in there, more or less as it actually happened,” Stewart said.
