Amy Stewart<\/strong> is the New York Times<\/em> best-selling author of ten books, including\u00a0<\/span>Girl Waits with Gun<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and the rest of the Kopp Sisters series<\/strong>, which are based on the true story of one of America\u2019s first female deputy sheriffs and her two rambunctious sisters. The entertaining Kopp Sisters books have recently been optioned for television by Amazon Studios. Her popular nonfiction titles include\u00a0<\/span>The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Plants<\/em><\/strong>, and\u00a0<\/span>Flower Confidential<\/em><\/strong>. While they have not been adapted for television, there are a few bars around the world named after The Drunken Botanist<\/em>. She lives in Portland with her husband Scott Brown, a rare book dealer. They own an independent bookstore called Eureka Books<\/strong>, which is so independent that it lives in California while they live in Oregon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Amy Stewart continues her extraordinary journey into the real lives of the forgotten but fabulous Kopp sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy sheriff Constance Kopp is outraged to see young women brought into the Hackensack jail over dubious charges of waywardness, incorrigibility, and moral depravity. The strong-willed, patriotic Edna Heustis, who left home to work in a munitions factory, certainly doesn’t belong behind bars. And sixteen-year-old runaway Minnie Davis, with few prospects and fewer friends, shouldn’t be publicly shamed and packed off to a state-run reformatory. But such were the laws\u2014and morals\u2014of 1916.<\/span><\/p>\n

Constance uses her authority as deputy sheriff, and occasionally exceeds it, to investigate and defend these women when no one else will. But it’s her sister Fleurette who puts Constance’s beliefs to the test and forces her to reckon with her own ideas of how a young woman should and shouldn’t behave.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of World War I, and drawn once again from the true story of the Kopp sisters,\u00a0Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions<\/i>\u00a0is a spirited, page-turning story that will delight fans of historical fiction and lighthearted detective fiction alike.\u00a0\"The<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
