Summary

While their men fight, America's women produce what's necessary for victory. In a Michigan shipyard, four female co-workers forge a strong bond of friendship that, combined with faith, helps them to overcome oppression, despair, and tragedy - and find love in unlikely places.

Written from four diverse viewpoints, A Woman's Place is an emotionally rich glimpse of life in World Ware II America.

Lynn Austin's three Christy Awards include one for Hidden Places, which was made into a popular Hallmark film.

Superb narration

I have read this book before but Christina Moore’s narration brought the characters to life in such a wonderful way. As always, Lynn Austin’s books are a joy to both listen to and read.

A fascinating social history story

I really enjoyed this book and found the social history elements of it fascinating. It was full of warmth without being overly sentimental. I definitely recommend it.

Hearing about a different view of the war.

What woman went through in those times, that propelled woman to start having more say. How sad that the segregation and discrimination was so strong back then. Loved the story and characters.

Brilliant war time book

This is my first Lynn Austin book and I’ve already downloaded a few others. The book expertly weaves through the lives of the main characters, teaching us along the way the history of the era, the hard fought battles (not always on a literal war theatre) and how important it is to love.
The characters are realistic, life like ordinary people with the struggles, hopes, dreams and heartache of war.
Highly recommend this book.

Very enjoyable

Wonderful story of women’s changing roles and resistance to change. Also the cruelty of racism. Was really insightful story with a good storyline.

Moving and challenging

I enjoyed The relationships and weaving various issues into the story. Heartwarming look at women’srights, racism forgiveness and grief and faith.
