Adjective clause pronoun
According to one English grammar book, it says: "General guideline: Place an adjective clasue pronoun as close as possible to the noun it modifies." If I take this word right, does this mean a) is better than b) in the following sentences (if I want to modify the noun "that lady")?
a) That lady, who grew up in a rich family, in my class is my friend.
b) That lady in my class, who grew up in a rich family, is my friend.
Also, what if there were no commas?
I am confused. Please help me figure it out.

I see. Thank you for your help anyway.
In fact, I was wondering and trying to guess, looking at my English grammar book, what the "adjective clause pronoun" is!

same as a relative pronoun (who, that, which, etc.)
The pronoun we use to introduce a relative clause (adjectival clause)

a) That lady, who grew up in a rich family, in my class is my friend.
b) That lady in my class, who grew up in a rich family, is my friend.
that lady in my class = who
b.) is better
