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 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.
