Young David Wildwood finds himself in Toronto unemployed and out of luck. He hitches a ride with a couple of ageing socialist intellectuals and ends up on the west coast where his luck begins to turn.

**This gritty and unique coming of age story arcs through the Dickensian world of new age labourers engaged in converting Vancouver’s skid row into what will emerge as trendy Gastown. **

The author skillfully weaves a tale that captures the passions and politics of the late 1960's while simultaneously engaging us in the growing pains of a young man caught in a web of drug dealers, draft dodgers, love, loss and violence.

The Peanut Factoryis a beautifully rendered story of a young man coming awake to himself and the world of possibility around him. PD Speers, a novelist with the heart of a poet, luminously describes a city on the verge of social explosion and one man’s attempt to find his way through its myriad of lane-ways and alleys. An Excellent read.** **
