Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart. True story: Constance Kopp was one of the first women to become a deputy sheriff in the USA. After becoming the victim to a crime herself (nothing grim, I promise) Constance joined forces with her sisters to bring the perpetrator to justice, and ended up with a job on the New Jersey police force.

Henry Kaufman took the stand in his defense but had little to say beyond his denial of the charges.

“Do you admit to having caused your motor car to collide with a buggy driven by the Misses Kopp on July 14 of last year?” Attorney Lynch asked.

“I do,” he said, “and I have paid my fine.” He spoke woodenly, as if he had memorized the answers. He was paler than when I'd last seen him and a bit thinner. He was no longer a man who looked like he was about to explode. I wondered if his attorney had persuaded him to reduce his drinking before the trial.

“Do you admit to driving to the Kopp home in Wyckoff to harass them and shoot at them after the collision?”

“I do not.”

“Are you the writer of the threatening letters sent to the Misses Kopp from August to November of last year?”

“I am not.”

“Mr. Kaufman,” Attorney Lynch said, approaching the witness stand with a sheaf of papers, “did you not provide these handwriting samples to the sheriff's office, which were used to positively match your handwriting to that of the writer of the letters?”

Mr. Kaufman leaned forward and squinted at the paper. “I admit to writing the name âConstance Kopp' at the suggestion of the sheriff, but the rest of it was coerced.”

“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 to write out handwriting samples against my will.”

The men in the jury box smiled.

“Forced you?” Attorney Lynch said, taking a step back in amazement. “By what means does a lady like Miss Kopp force a grown man to do anything he doesn't want to do?”

Mr. Kaufman looked down and mumbled something.

“Could you repeat that for the jury?” Attorney Lynch asked.

He looked up and said, in a loud, plain voice, “She's not a regular lady.”

AFTER HIS TESTIMONY CONCLUDED
, the jury took only two and a half hours to convict Henry Kaufman. He was fined one thousand dollars and, having no means of paying the fine, was taken into custody. Mrs. Garfinkel and her father hadn't returned for the conclusion of the trial, and none of Mr. Kaufman's associates had made an appearance, either. When he was led away, there was no one to say goodbye to him.

The verdict was read at two-thirty in the afternoon. By three o'clock we were standing in front of the courthouse saying our goodbyes to the sheriff, his deputies, and the attorneys. The reporters were trying to get Fleurette's attention, but Sheriff Heath put Deputy Morris by her side to keep them away.

It was a perfect summer afternoon, with a jewel-blue sky above us and clouds that looked like they had been painted on. A breeze had risen to push the heat out of Newark's fetid streets, and a willow tree planted alongside the courthouse waved its drooping branches, whispering like the rush of water. Everything looked cleaner and brighter than it had when the trial began. The granite courthouse behind us, the rows of brick offices and shops across the street, and the trolleys running along their tracks, all seemed to speak of a crisp and orderly world in which people could walk the streets in peace. The attorneys and deputies laughed and joked with one another, and they, too, seemed younger and brighter in the light of a favorable verdict and a clear June day.

We said all the thanks we could think to say and a silence fell over the group. Norma and Fleurette turned to walk to the train station. Sheriff Heath took me by the arm and led me away from them. We walked down the stairs, and then he stopped and turned to me.

“You had more of a role in this than anyone in that courtroom knew,” he said.

“Ohâ” I looked at him in surprise. “Well. We all did our part.”

The sun glared on the white steps and he squinted at me with that half-smile, half-frown I still hadn't learned to read.

“What you did will serve you well in your new occupation,” he said.

I laughed. “Occupation? I have no occupation. That's just the trouble. If weâ”

He didn't let me finish. “Miss Kopp. I think you'd make a fine deputy.”

“Deputy?”

“Deputy sheriff.”

My throat went dry. I had to swallow before I spoke. “I don't understand.”

He smiled and looked down at his feet, then raised his eyes to mine.

“I'm offering you a job, Miss Kopp.”

THIS IS A WORK OF HISTORICAL FICTION
based on real events and real people. My task as a writer was to take the public recordâpieced together from newspaper articles, genealogical records, court documents, and other sourcesâand invent the rest of the story. All of the major events described in the novel actually happened, with a few notable exceptions: There was no Lucy Blake, which means that every part of the story connected with herâthe missing child, Constance's trips to New York, and the scenes at the orphanageâare all fiction. (It is true, however, that children were sent away to live with “strike mothers” during the silk strikes, and that some of those children did not return.) Although Henry Kaufman did have a secretary named M. Garfinkel, the character of Marion Garfinkel is fictional. Another significant difference is that Mrs. Kopp, Norma and Constance's mother, died a few years later than she does in my version of events. Also, to my knowledge, Norma Kopp had no interest in pigeons.

Everything else happened more or less as I described it. I invented dialogue, personalities, backstories, and scenes that helped piece together the stories behind the events described in the public record. Most of the people who appear here as secondary charactersâpeople such as Bessie Kopp, John Courter, John Ward, Peter McGinnis, and Cordelia Heathâare also real people who led lives that I know little about. The personality traits, ambitions, and actions I ascribed to them are my own embellishments to the few facts I do know about them.

The circumstances surrounding Fleurette's birth are not entirely known, but the basic factsâthe identity of her mother and father, the relevant dates, and the fact that Fleurette grew up not knowing the truthâhave been verified through court documents and interviews with Fleurette's son.

I used real letters and newspaper articles in the book to help anchor the story in reality. I'd like to ac
