About this listen

 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.

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.

Superb narration

A very different prospective of WW2. Very good. Interesting insight into life at this time through the eyes of women struggling through the sterotypes of the roles assigned to them at this time in history. Thoroughly recommend, well written and a great narrator.

This was a great book, and the narrator was the best I’ve heard. The story was very interesting and held my attention all the way through to the end. Just loved it, and ready for her next book.

Fab story, fab narrator!

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.

Hearing about a different view of the war.

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.

Brilliant war time book
