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 Swan, author of Academy 7"Hooray for Miriam, just the kind of young woman I like—curious, compassionate, intelligent, independent, and determined. Her story is told in Blue Thread, a wonderfully written novel about her struggle to be herself, to be honest, and to be just. In an intriguing blend of fantasy and historical fiction, Miriam finds the battles of the past informing her present and inspiring her future. I cheered her efforts, her courage, and her rewards. And so will you." —Karen Cushman, author of The Midwife's Apprentice Read more About the Author Ruth Tenzer Feldman is the author of numerous historical and political nonfiction books for children and young adults, including "The Fall of Constantinople," "Thurgood Marshall," "Don't Whistle in School: The History of America's Public Schools," and" How Congress Works."

In Blue Thread, Ruth intertwines events from Oregon’s women’s suffrage movement with the daughters of Zelophehad’s struggle for women’s rights during biblical times. In her companion book, The Ninth Day, the Free Speech Movement of the 1960s is connected with 11th century Paris. In both books, the main characters (Miriam Josefsohn in Blue Thread and Hope Friis in The Ninth Day) are able to move back and forth through time by using a magical prayer shawl. One can be read without the other. I recommend both books.The prayer shawl has a unique blue thread that originated from the biblical Tribe of Levi. The thread has a special power that can carry a messenger across the olam (the universe). Since Miryam the biblical prophetess, did not have any children, she passed a thread onto Tirzah’s daughter, Miryam. Miriam Josefsohn traveled back to that point in time. Another thread miraculously survived until the Middle Ages and was embroidered into a prayer shawl by Rashi’s daughter.Most striking is the message that Ruth brings to her audience. She illustrates how women can use their voices and their deeds to make a difference. Sometimes the choices that the young women make run counter to public opinion. These risky endeavors are oftentimes filled with uncertain outcomes.. While Serakh is trying to calm Miriam after their first time travel, she says “… But where you are or when you are is not of great importance. They form only a tiny dot in the olam, a spark in the universe. What matters most is who you are.” (Page 67)Tidbits of history are sprinkled throughout. Readers learn about basic trends and ideas associated with the time periods. This historical information adds credence to the setting while also enriching the readers understanding of history. Jewish culture and historical events are an added bonus that may or may not appeal to a secular audience. Ruth provides an Author’s Note that spells out where the line is drawn between fiction and non-fiction and also explains some Jewish terms.Both of Ruth's books are creative and engaging. Multiple twists and turns keep the reader engaged throughout. Ruth patiently introduces and develops the characters. The dialogue is relaxed and credible. Miriam and Hope’s relationships with others highlight their personalities. Through these interactions, the reader is able to see the girls’ strengths and weaknesses. By the end of the book, readers feel like they are walking hand-in-hand with the characters and joining them as they move through the olam. I am looking forward to future treks through the olam. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this one first *by A***R on May 18, 2017* There are currently three books in this series; this one takes place first. I read it while staying at the Crystal Hotel in downtown Portland and it was wonderful to take a walking tour of the places mentioned in the book. The storyline was believable and the characters well-developed. It's about a teen aged girl learning about the mysterious family heirloom prayer shawl she is given by her uncle. Time travel, semantics, and a little bible history are all woven into this great story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Adventure in Time *by F***T on July 25, 2015* I would say that this book is aimed at teens, however it is an engaging story reminding me of Gore Vidal's use of fictional characters in historic circumstances. I ordered the book as its launch in Portland was held in the home the author imagined as the heroine's family home, and I was researching that house's history. It's wonderfully imaginative and gives a fascinating picture of two historic events separated by millennia. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/13412500-ruth-tenzer-feldmanblue-thread-the-blue-thread-saga](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/13412500-ruth-tenzer-feldmanblue-thread-the-blue-thread-saga) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
