by Lorie Holloway (Author)

A royal stew. A broken chain. A sacred recipe that travels through time.

In a lush African kingdom ruled by King Bruno and Queen Utopia, young Princess Penelope is known far and wide for her legendary peanut stew, a mouthwatering dish celebrated with drums, dancing, and joy across the land. Yet after one fateful festival, Penelope's life is upended when she's lured away by a charming outsider and taken captive on a slave ship, torn from everything she holds dear.

In a strange new land, stripped of her name and freedom, Penelope finds the peanut and buries it which is her last tie to home. From this seed of memory and magic, she crafts a fiery new recipe: Red Hot Pickled Peppered Peanuts, a dish infused with the spirits of her ancestors and the taste of freedom.

When two runaway slaves arrive at her doorstep, Penelope offers them refuge, her sacred stew, and a jar of her fiery red hot pickled peppered peanuts

Can the power of tradition, love, and ancestral strength reunite a broken lineage-or will greed extinguish the flame forever?

Lyrical, heart-wrenching, and laced with folklore, The Tale of Penelope's Red Hot Pickled Peppered Peanuts is a soulful story of survival, legacy, and the extraordinary magic hidden in everyday things.
