Description:

A beautiful, enthralling and powerful story of three women separated by centuries, yet connected by a thread of longing and a singular creative spirit - for readers of Geraldine Brooks, Sarah Winman, Maggie O'Farrell and Pip Williams.

Longlisted for the 2023 Mark and Evette Moran Nib Literary Award.



In Judea, under the brutal rule of King Herod, a woman yearns for a child but is outcast when she does not fall pregnant. Against all convention, she masters the art of glassblowing, a creative act she believes will keep her dream of motherhood alive. In Renaissance Florence, a young wife is left penniless by her hopelessly unfaithful husband, and struggles to find a way to support herself and her young son. And in contemporary Australia, a talented textile conservator, devastated by loss, is desperate to regain control of her life. Each woman wants something that seems unattainable, and it will take all their courage, creativity and determination to achieve it.

A stunning, sweeping historical novel spanning two thousand years, One Illumined Thread celebrates the power and creative spirit of the female heart, as each woman finds freedom through an extraordinary connection.

'A dazzling story of the intimacy between women. There is wisdom, beauty and hope in this yearning song to motherhood sought, granted, lost and denied - a remarkable novel.' Suzanne Leal

'Fans of Sarah Winman and Pip Williams will love Sally Colin-James's debut novel One Illumined Thread, an intriguing story of three women separated by centuries yet inextricably connected by their qu

They actually make my dry mouth worse.
Flavor Name: Peppermint, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I got the peppermint flavor. It’s very strong and stings, and they make my dry mouth worse. They are chalky and caused me to cough. There are plenty of cheaper and effective ones out there to choose from… that won’t go straight into the trash.

What's to say, a Saint and a Doctor of the church.
Format: Paperback
Content awesome as one would expect from a doctor of the church. Problem, font size of the printed is to small for comfortable reading.

A guide for prayer relevant today
Format: Paperback
Though written in the 16th century, this book is so direct, speaking of the issues of parenting, prayer, and our relationship with God, as if the author were alive today. The examples she gives are so human, and so direct. Do you pray in church, or do you fall into the temptation of looking who is there around you? What other temptations do you give into that take you AWAY from prayer? Do you know how easy it is to falter in prayer? St. Teresa will help you not feel like a failure. There are times you should simply not pray ("no water in the well"), and in those cases, St. Teresa suggests to read a good book. Lots of good books - and hers is a perfect way to start. She is helping me pray, but when I am having a dry spell, she is helping me not fall away from God.

......................COINCIDENCE?…I was on page 130 when my husband
of 43 yrs kissed me good by, walked out the door, fell down -& never got up. His last words to me when I tried to help him up were " I'm ok". The paramedics worked on him for over an hour but never got a pulse. He died less than 5' from me -but, I couldn't even hold his hand. He'd converted to Catholism but, became a Catholic without a church; like me! Why I chose this book is still beyond me......especially of this Saint; we'd been to her shrine, in Spain, yrs ago. I'd found it 'too much'… the relics (a finger) -as I remember it struck me as wrong. On that same trip, we went to Fatima; my husband told me he just knew something special had happened here when we visited the shrine & the small statue of Our Lady of Fatima. I, (the Catholic, raised by devote parents & nuns in school) who really wanted to feel the same -didn't. It is 3wks. since his death. Maybe, I'm just still numb. We were 24/7 for over 43 yrs. (we had a business- then retired & traveled - we had a wonderful life) BUT… How could I live now...without him? And Why? I waited for a 'breakdown'… for his loss to hit me. I felt waves of grief, that were physical -go through me for a few days; but, no great sobbing of tears. The only explanation I have (& I thank God for it) is that I do feel him with me still, in my heart/soul. My daily prayer is that I never feel That loss. (being the cynic that I am, I can not begin to express what this means to me) It is so real a presence & comfort! And, 'for the record', the very first call I made was to the church we weren't going to. (In 'my' day, if you weren't in 'good standing' you didn't get a funeral Mass.) We got a it and were welcomed! My Faith, is still pathetically weak. Father told me to offer my grief as sacrifice. I'm trying.
