ALL THE ACORNS ON THE FOREST FLOOR

Hillary Huber narrates 13 interlocking short stories set in Los Angeles. Huber's sensitive narration of the connected vignettes and overlapping characters is quietly contemplative and comfortably paced. The stories focus on themes of relationships and love, as well as the difficulties of the ever-present societal expectations placed on women. Huber capably weaves these themes together while providing a deeper look at the backgrounds and motivations of characters who are connected, whether they know it or not, through unexpected pregnancy, adoption, surrogacy, and other circumstances.
