Constance Kopp doesn't quite fit the mold. She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domesticity, and has been isolated from the world since a family secret sent her and her sisters into hiding fifteen years ago. One day a powerful factory owner runs down her buggy, and a dispute over damages turns into a war as he unleashes his gang on their farm. When the sheriff asks for help in convicting them, Constance confronts her past and defends her family -- and does it in a way that few women of 1914 would have dared.
