Mollie's Substitute Husband
Produced by Al Haines
"Mollie's Substitute Husband" by Max McConn is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on John Merriam, a young and somewhat innocent high school principal from Riceville, Illinois, who finds himself in a whirlwind of intrigue and romance in Chicago. Following a chance encounter with his former student and the "prettiest girl," Mollie June, now married to Senator George Norman, Merriam becomes embroiled in a plot that could significantly impact the political landscape and his own heart. The opening portion of the novel introduces John Merriam's unexpected escapade in a Chicago cabaret, where he relishes a brief escape from his mundane life in Riceville. Merriam's encounter with Mollie June, who is now married, stirs a mixture of nostalgia and longing within him. As he reminisces about their past interactions in high school, the narrative hints at a complex web of relationships and political maneuvering that Merriam will navigate. The stage is set for an adventure that intertwines personal desires with social reforms, as Merriam becomes involved in a plot orchestrated by political reformers aiming to influence the senator's decision on an important ordinance. This vivid setup creates an intriguing foundation, promising themes of love, ambition, and the quest for justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
