A
single mother with a
little boy seeks a
new life in an old town dominated by traditions of the
have’s and have-not’s.
Th is sleepy little town of paint-peeling houses conceals the world’s largest denim production mill
in one single location. Since 1845, except for transient accidents, fi res, fl oods and union fi ghts, the
mill has been running twenty-four hours a day.
In fact, of all the blue-jeans worn throughout the world today, the basic fabric likely had its origin
in this one mill, an enormous conglomerate of working mothers, fathers and singles with its
blossoming and fading, its battles between rich and poor, the indestructible mill surviving all odds
to produce the denim you wear today.
While the story’s distinctive fl avor comes from the grandeur of the industrial old South, its unique
seasoning surfaces from the intriguing lives of individual mill hands and from personnel in a very
small hospital that keeps them patched up.
