Violet stays in Chicago under the care of her grandmother and three great aunts.

She schemed her way to Chicago to discover the mother she barely remembered. As for romance--well, with the help of her grandmother and three great aunts, that is coming along nicely as well--perhaps too well. Each of her relatives--including her saintly grandmother--seems to have a separate agenda for her.<br/><br/>In the course of a summer, Violet's world will open wide before her eyes. But in the wake of discovery, she must find a way to determine which path--and which man--will ultimately be the right lifetime choice for her.<br/><br/>A Christy Award Winner<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A Woman's Place is not to be confused with a simple read, heartwarming though it is.
