Lynn Austin has won three Christy Awards for her historical fiction. Her other titles include All She Ever Wanted, Eve's Daughters, Wings of Refuge and A Proper Pursuit. One of her other novels, Hidden Places, has also been made into a Hallmark Channel film.

"In an engrossing read, three-time Christy Award-winner Austin explores the lives of four women..all in all, Austin offers a very enjoyable journey..." (Publisher's Weekly)

"Austin always writes with impeccable skill and careful insight; her wee-drawn, multifaceted characters and a thought-provoking plot will keep readers glued to this wartime tale. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)

"A Woman's Place is not to be confused with a simple read, heartwarming though it is. Readers will be drawn immediately into the setting by Austin's ability to weave story with fact, but it is the deep questions each woman must ask that will keep the pages turning." (Christian Retailing)
