About this book
All-Wool Morrison by Holman Day launches listeners into a tense, twenty-four-hour political drama where millroom tradition collides with the charged atmosphere of a state capital. Set in the city of Marion at the opening of a legislative session, Day's historical fiction follows the stubborn figure known as "The Morrison" and the workers of St. Ronan's Mill as old customs, political bosses, and grassroots fury converge. Chapters pulse with alarms, mobs, senators, and a mayoral fight that threatens both civic order and personal loyalties, while a quieter subplot of love and choice—centered on Lana Corson—adds human stakes to the wider upheaval.
Rich in period detail, All-Wool Morrison captures early 20th-century American life: labor tensions, machine politics, and the clash between community traditions and modern power. Day’s brisk, character-driven storytelling makes a single day feel epic, exploring themes of duty, courage, and social change without sacrificing page-turning pace.
Ideal for listeners who enjoy political drama, historical fiction, and tightly structured, character-rich narratives—this audiobook rewards those drawn to vivid dialogue, social commentary, and a story that turns one day into a decisive moment.
