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.
