A Life of Peanuts takes a look at the role peanuts have played in the South–from their arrival in the early 1800's to their existence in the South today. Their roots, no pun intended, might have begun in South Carolina but today those roots have made their way all the way to the Alabama-Florida line. This book will investigate peanuts not only from a historical perspective but also will delve into the lives of a peanut grower and a peanut seller whose lives are impacted by peanuts everyday.
