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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An engrossing read...a very enjoyable journey." ( Publishers Weekly)

Loved this book

The book took me back to ww2 and reminds me of all the stories my Dad told me of the war and that era. I Loved the story and the ending. The narrater was fantastic.

Historically accurate, fun plot and characters

Enjoyed this story. Was surprised by what was going on at home while our service men were away at war. Well done.

Kept my interest til the very end!

Great book and the reader did really well in portraying many diverse main characters.
Very well done.

Great

I really enjoyed this story and the narrator was phenomenal. The only negative that I can say is that I wanted an epilogue to see how the women fared in the post-war timeperiod. it was a lot of buildup about them and how they grew, but nothing about their lives after the shipyard.

WWII story from the homefront

I really enjoyed this story of 4 very different women who meet when they each decide to work at the shipyard in their town helping to make ships and landing craft for the the war effort. How they come to this and how they change and what they discover about themselves along the way is well written and interesting. While some of it is predictable, it is interesting to see how the author allows it to unfold. As they become friends they help each other in ways they don't always realize. Lynn Austin always includes an underlying stream of faith messages in her stories but it is never "preachy", just more like real people exploring faith from their own perspectives. The narrator was very good at providing appropriate voices and accents to each character. I would listen to more books by this narrator.

Awesome story

This was a wonderful take of four very different women who become friends during WWII while working in a factory. Highly recommend

Great read

a realistic weaving of lives during war years, lives holding onto God, hope and friends

Connection with WWII was so nice!

I loved listening to this book. This has a lot of WWII facts. I just celebrated with our nation the 75th anniversary of Victory of D-Day. I found out my uncle was in the “second wave”. This book was very intriguing and at times very emotional! A very good book!!
