Read Ella Wood Storyline:
Will Emily forego love for a chance at independence?Emily Preston wants only to become an artist. As the nation teeters on the brink of civil war, she must wage her own battle against the restrictive ideology of her father. Women belong at home on the plantation beneath the watchful eye of a husband or father--NOT at a university. But several schools in the North have opened their doors to women. How can she make her father see just how much it means to her to study under a master?
Independence isn't the only contentious point between them. A recent visit to her uncle's home in Detroit has called Emily's entire upbringing into question, but her father doesn't appreciate her criticisms of his management of Ella Wood, the Preston family plantation. Then there's the problem of Thaddeus Black, the handsome, charming young man who simply won't take no for an answer. It could be that the real fight lies within her heart, which stubbornly refuses to accept that a choice for independence must be a choice against love.

**Review
Michelle is a sterling writer. Her audience is teens, but good writing appeals to any age. (Dr. Judith Fabisch, retired English professor)
Just finished this book and loved it!! Can't wait for the next one. Hard to find good romantic historical fiction that is not filled with inappropriate scenes. Teens and adults alike will love this one. (Carolyn, Amazon customer)
I got my start with young adult historical fiction about America's past while I was still a young adult, with novels by Ann Rinaldi. Ella Wood by Michelle Isenhoff took me back to that same brand of enjoyment. ("Full of Hope", Amazon reviewer)
