Thanks to Turner Publishing for the gifted copy of this book.

All the Acorns on the Forest Floor follows three storylines related to motherhood: a couple with the hope of a new pregnancy, a woman learning of her adoptive past, and a marriage on the brinks while dealing with infertility. This book is one that pulled on my heartstrings as a mother. I loved the exploration of all the facets of motherhood - whether a woman has birthed a child or not, and how women can become mothers in non-traditional or unexpected ways. Definitely a short story collection to add to your list for a reflective fall or winter read.
