In the sun-drenched kingdom of West Nigeria, Princess Penelope’s gift to her people is more than a feast—it is magic simmered in a pot. Her peanut stew, bursting with fiery peppers and sweet okra, symbolizes love, unity, and the strength of generations. But when jealousy and betrayal unravel her world, Penelope’s destiny takes her from royal kitchens to the heart of darkness across the sea.

Torn from her homeland and bound by chains, she clings to her legacy—the humble peanut—as a beacon of survival and hope. Through hardship and heartbreak, Penelope transforms her sorrow into creation, crafting the legendary Red Hot Pickled Peppered Peanuts, a recipe that defies oppression and whispers of freedom.

From ancestral Africa to the plantations of the American South, The Tale of Penelope’s Red Hot Pickled Peppered Peanuts is a sweeping saga of love, loss, and resilience. Rich in folklore and fantasy, Lorie Holloway’s storytelling blends myth and history into a spellbinding journey where one woman’s courage sows the seeds of legacy for generations to come.
