Summary provided by the publisher:

When Constance Kopp and her sisters suffer a run-in with a ruthless, powerful crook, Constance leaves her quiet country life to team up with the local sheriff and exact justice. As a war of bricks, bullets, and threats ensues, Constance realizes that this racketeer's history may be more damning than she thought, but now that she's on the case–he won't get away.

Quick-witted and full of madcap escapades, Girl Waits with Gun tells the true story of one woman rallying the courage to stand up for and grow into herself—with a little help from sisters and sheriffs along the way.

About the branch

West Hollywood Library began service to the area (then unincorporated ) in 1913. The library was previously located at Sherman School, a cottage on Clark Street, a building on Westbourne Drive, and a building near the present site. The Library has an active Friends of the Library group.

The new library was dedicated October 1, 2011.
