Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. The third novel in the Kopp sisters series. 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. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. As new, from the publisher. Constance 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. 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., Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017, 5, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017.

First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Historical fiction from the author of The Drunken Botanist (and co-owner of Eureka Books, a bricks-and-mortar shop in northwestern California). *** Constance Kopp doesn't quite fit the mold. She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs, and has been isolated from the world since a family secret sent her and her sisters into hiding fifteen years ago. One day a belligerent and powerful silk factory owner runs down their buggy, and a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on their family farm. When the sheriff enlists her help in convicting the men, Constance is forced to confront her past and defend her family - and she does it in a way that few women of 1914 would have dared. First edition (first printing guaranteed). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. From the New York Times best-selling author of The Drunken Botanist comes an enthralling novel based on the forgotten true story of one of the nation's first female deputy sheriffs.

When the sheriff enlists her help in convicting the men, Constance is forced to confront her past and defend her family -- and she does it in a way that few women of 1914 would have dared. "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, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, 5, Orlando, Florida: Harcourt, Inc, 2007. First Edition [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. [10], 530, [4] pages.

Frank Forrester Church IV (September 23, 1948 - September 24, 2009) was a leading Unitarian Universalist minister, author, and theologian. He was Senior Minister of the Unitarian Church of All Souls in New York City, until late 2006 when he was appointed as Minister of Public Theology. His father was elected to the United States Senate in 1956 and served four terms, until January 1981. Church was a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Divinity School. He received a Ph.D. in early church history from Harvard University in 1978. In a revelatory look at the birth of our nation, Forrest Church re-ceates our first great culture war--a tumultuous yet nearly forgotten conflict that raged from George Washington's presidency to James Monroe's. Would we be a nation under God, or with liberty and justice for all? With the Bible and the Declaration of Independence competing for American affections, the Fourth of July itself became a battleground, with conservative pastors scorning the "Red, White, and Blue" as anti-Christian and anti-American, while Baptists, on the religious left, led the vanguard for church-state separation. This is an illuminating study of the complex connection between religion and politics. Derived from a Kirkus review: Religious historian and minister Church examines freedom of religion in late-18th- and early-19th-century America. In this fascinating and subtle study, Church shows that the issue of church and state is not simple. Some early Americans believed that the new nation needed "a strong Christian government" to survive, and others favored a clear separation between church and state. Central to the victory of the latter view-and thus to the story Church tells-is Thomas Jefferson's drafting of the "Statute Establishing Religious Freedom in Virginia," which disestablished the Anglican Church and created a model for the religious freedom later enshrined in the First Amendment. Church is especially good at revealing small but significant episodes: George Washington's insisting his troops honor the Sabbath during the Revolutionary War, James Madison's thoughts on the constitutionality of chaplains in Congress. Perhaps the most fascinating character in this narrative is John Adams, who, though himself disdainful of orthodox Christian teaching, believed that religion was necessary to maintain virtue in the new nation. Church also investigates the seeming irony that a nation with no established religion should remain so religious. There's no contradiction there, he suggests; in fact, disestablishment guaranteed that churches would not be manipulated by politics, and thus freed them to focus on matters of faith, not statecraft. The author's discussion of Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists-a letter that includes the phrase "a wall of separation between church and state".
