All the Acorns on the Forest Floor

By: Kim Hooper

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

A couple brimming with the hope of a new pregnancy. A woman coming to terms with the truth behind her adoption. A husband trying to save his marriage from the despair of infertility. These are just a few of the stories in All the Acorns on the Forest Floor, a book about the lengths we’ll go to for the love of our children, our spouses, our mothers, our daughters.

All the Acorns on the Forest Floor is a book of connections between people, connections lost and found, across time and space. There are stories of women who never became mothers (by choice or by fate), women who became mothers in unexpected or nontraditional ways, and women who gave up or lost babies. There are emotional aftershocks with each character’s personal earthquake, aftershocks that shake their lives and force them to consider who they are, what they want, and how they love.

Bonus chapters from Kim Hooper’s next book, There’s No Hiding in Boise, are included at the end of this audiobook.

A wonderful collection

I really liked this collection of interconnected short stories. They all touch on motherhood. Some of them are heartbreaking, some are uplifting, and all of them are insightful. Lovely narration by Hillary Huber.

Infertility, Adoption, and Parenting

Loved this. It's a collection of short stories that seem to stand alone but somehow later connect. They all explore the lengths people go to to become parents, and the joy-and heartbreak-of being a parent.
