"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."
"This book actually is what made me start reading out of high school, I found the main charcater so inspiring, I haven't been able to find this book anywhere!!!! She made me proud to be a woman, and at the time when I was 17 I found her to an amazing woman, she is inspiring!"
"While it was enjoyable enough to read, I found A Woman's Place to be more like a Lifetime movie with a big theme laid on with a trowel and cardboard characters that drove me nuts. To be fair, this was written in the 1990s so the scenario of a successful woman being victimized by a prejudicial court system to strip her of custodial rights to her children could certainly have been relevant. I just felt that the author was highly manipulative and heavy-handed in her characterizations. After awhile it got repetitive. I really didn't care and I should have."
