When Constance Kopp and her sisters suffer a run-in with a ruthless, powerful crook, Constance leaves her quiet country life to team up with the local sheriff and exact justice. As a war of bricks, bullets, and threats ensues, Constance realizes that this racketeer's history may be more damning than she thought, but now that she's on the case--he won't get away.
Quick-witted and full of madcap escapades, Girl Waits with Gun tells the true story of one woman rallying the courage to stand up for and grow into herself--with a little help from sisters and sheriffs along the way.
Editorial Reviews
“An entertaining and enlightening story of how far one woman will go to protect her family.” —The Washington Post
“Stewart gives us three sisters whose bond -- scratchy and well-worn but stronger for it, as can happen with family ties -- is unspoken but effortless.” —National Public Radio
“A smart, romping adventure, featuring some of the most memorable and powerful female characters I've seen in print for a long time. I loved every page as I followed the Kopp sisters through a too-good-to-be-true (but mostly true!) tale of violence, courage, stubbornness, and resourcefulness.” —Elizabeth Gilbert
