About the Book

When sixteen-year-old Miriam Josefsohn inherits her great-grandmother's prayer shawl, she is thrust into a time-traveling adventure, the outcome of which will resonate for generations.


The women's suffrage movement is in full swing in 1912 Portland, Oregon--the last holdout state on the West Coast. Miriam desperately wants to work at her father's printing shop, but when he refuses she decides to dedicate herself to the suffrage movement, demanding rights for women and a different life for herself. Amidst the uncertainty of her future, Miriam's attention is diverted by the mysterious Serakh, whose sudden, unexplained appearances and insistent questions lead Miriam to her great-grandmother's Jewish prayer shawl--and to her destiny. With this shawl, Miriam is taken back in time to inspire the Daughters of Zelophehad, the first women in Biblical history to own land. Miriam brings the strength and courage of these women with her forward in time, emboldening her own struggles and illuminating what it means to be an independent woman.



About the Author :
Ruth Tenzer Feldman is the author of numerous nonfiction books for children and young adults, including The Fall of Constantinople, How Congress Works, and Don't Whistle in School: The History of America's Public Schools. She began working on Blue Thread in 2008 when she discovered the story of the Daughters of Zelophehad in the Torah. In an effort to bring historical authenticity to her characters' worlds, Ruth conducted extensive historical and cultural research, including spending time at a vintage letterpress print shop. Originally from Long Island, New York, Ruth studied at the American University Washington College of Law and has worked as a legislative attorney for the U.S. Department of Education. She is a member of the League of Women Voters, the Oregon Historical Society, the Institute for Judaic Studies, Congregation Beth Israel, and Viva Scriva-a collective of writers and artists. Ruth is currently a full-time author and resides in Portland, Oregon, with her husband. Blue Thread is her first novel. For more information, visit her website at www.ruthtenzerfeldman.com.

Review :

"Like Miriam herself, Blue Thread interweaves elements of faith, history, and politics, but what I loved most about this young adult novel was the even more powerful element of family. From the dominant conflict and connection between Miriam and her father to the more fantastical tie between the women of the Josefsohn family, Ruth Tenzer Feldman does a beautiful job peering into the bonds that bring us together, tear us apart, and allow us to travel beyond ourselves."

--Anne Osterlund, author of Academy 7
