A Woman's Place is a very realistic story of divorce from a working woman's view. Claire is blind sided by a court order for her to vacate her home and her two children when she returns from her dying mother's bedside. She is torn by her role as mother, wife, daughter, sister and highly successful business woman. Each role is important but none of them as important to her as mother which her husband and the courts have ripped from her. Her fight to regain custody of her children is blocked on many fronts by untruths and an egosentric judge with a bias against working mothers. I enjoyed the book and found it a good view of the process and heartbreak of divorce.

I finished this book in about 3 days. Being a woman and a small business owner myself, I strongly identified with the story line. A great book!

I think Barbara Delinsky is a wonderful writer and she doesn't disappoint in this great book. The story revolves around a woman going through divorce and how she discovers she is tougher than she thinks she is. Couldn't put it down.

This is one of my top 3 favorite Barbara Delinsky books. It just goes to show that things can get really bad, but turn around to the good side again, if you do things for the right reason.

A career woman is sued for divorce and custody of her children. Another great book by Delinsky.

Excellent writing; hard to put down but also extremely frustrating storyline (that is too often real life). Worth the read if only for the inspiring personality of the main character.

I really did enjoy this story, but wished I had the unabridged version. So many details were left to the imagination - I would have preferred to hear what the author intended. The ending was very well done, I think.

As a rule, I love Barbara Delinsky's books, but I found this one overlong and boring. It felt dated to me and was not surprised when I found out that it is a reprint of a '96 book. Three quarters into the book, I gave up and skipped to end. For die hard fans only.
