Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions Book Talk by Amy Stewart
Hear Eureka Books’ own Amy Stewart at the Eureka Theater talking about her newest release, Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions, the third novel in the extraordinary journey into the real lives of the forgotten but fabulous Kopp sisters. Amy will be offering a slideshow and talk at the historic Eureka Theater at 7 pm on October 7th – the same night as Arts Alive.
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 – and morals – of 1916.
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.
Against the backdrop of World War I, and drawn once again from the true story of the Kopp sisters, Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions is a spirited, page turning story that will delight fans of historical fiction and lighthearted detective fiction alike. Be at the Eureka Theater for the local premiere on Saturday October 7th!
