About Soup To Nuts, Book II
With an incisive memory of her life’s events, large and small, Coralie Koonce tells her story. Full of historical moments that affected the world, her community, and her family, Koonce’s memoir chronicles much about Fayetteville and Washington County, Arkansas. No stranger to starting over, Koonce recounts her years as a mother, student, home healthcare provider, teacher, wife, and daughter while setting up housekeeping from Chicago to the Tennessee commune ‘The Farm’ to the struggles of earning a living in San Diego, California. Koonce explores the possibilities of everything from past lives and astrological influence to joining the fight against aerial spraying of 2,4,5-T in Arkansas forests. From Fayetteville’s earliest community efforts at recycling to organizing against war, she has served as a key figure in much of the area’s activism toward a better world, particularly in her work to found the Eco Center. Her memories of the start-up of Ozark Natural Foods will be familiar to many, as are her stories of years living in a raw-bone shack in the south county, no running water, no electricity, and an assortment of characters straight out of idiosyncratic folklore. Whether enjoyed for its chronology of community evolution or for its portrayal of unique people and events, or to simply marvel at one woman’s vigorous embrace of life, readers will find much to ponder in this fascinating chronicle of her 93 years. So far.
