Ella McFarland's dream is a teaching position at Worthington School for Girls. But scandal clouds her family name and may limit her to a life of grueling farm labor in the Indian Territory.

Will they overlook the illegitimate son recently borne by her sister, Viola?1905 brings hope of Oklahoma statehood and the woman's suffrage debate is raging, forcing Ella to make decisions about her faith, family, and aspirations. When she comes to the rescue of a young, abused sharecropper's daughter, her calling begins to take shape in ways she never imagined. Education is Ella's passion, but a new love is budding in her heart. Can she find God's will amidst the tumultuous storm that surrounds her?A story of family and faith in 1905 Indian Territory prior to Oklahoma statehood, a time when women's voices were silenced in public and often stifled at home.
