I ordered this wonderful treasure several months ago. I thought I would be purchasing it just for myself, but once my husband got his hands on it, I lost ownership! We both absolutley love it. Peggy Fleming truly has an eye for capturing the moment. We love "In Her Place" and highly suggest checking it out! So inspirational!

Peggy Flemming has captured the inner beauty of women in everyday life. Spiritual and complex in their thoughts and feelings captured by photos and words. I strongly recommend this book for men and women. A refreshing view of life in all of its splendor and complications.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Her Place: Inner Views and Outer Spaces, May 24, 2000

This review is from: In Her Place: inner views and outer places (Paperback)

In Her Place is a book to be savored by any woman who has recognized, within herself, the need for a "place" to replenish her soul. The striking photographs and brief lyrical comments capture the special places (or activities) of more than 50 women, diverse in age and interests. However different we may be, we are sisters all!
