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 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.
