nConstance Kopp stands up to biased morality laws of 1916, defending the independent young women in her prison against dubious charges when no one else will. 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 doesnt belong behind bars. And sixteen-year-old runaway Minnie Davis, with few prospects and fewer friends, shouldnt be publicly shamed and packed off to a state-run reformatory. But such were the laws--and morals--of 1916. n n Constance uses her authority as deputy sheriff, and occasionally exceeds it, to investigate and defend these women when no one else will. But its her sister Fleurette who puts Constances beliefs to the test and forces her to reckon with her own ideas of how a young woman should and shouldnt behave. n n Against the backdrop of World War I, and drawn once again from the true story of the Kopp sisters, Miss Kopps Midnight Confessions is a spirited, page-turning story that will delight fans of historical fiction and lighthearted detective fiction alike.n
