Emily Nagoski's Come as You Are (Simon & Schuster) is an essential exploration of why and how women's sexuality works — based on groundbreaking research and brain science. Cutting-edge research across multiple disciplines tells us that the most important factor for women in creating and sustaining a fulfilling sex life is not what you do in bed or how you do it, but how you feel about it. Which means that stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman's sexual well-being; they are central to it.

In her intoxicatingly lush debut novel, A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain (Penguin), Adrianne Harun weaves together folklore, mythology, and elements of magical realism to create a compelling and unsettling portrait of life in a dead-end town. In isolated British Columbia, girls, mostly native, are vanishing from the sides of a notorious highway. Leo Kreutzer and his four friends are barely touched by these disappearances — until a series of mysterious and troublesome outsiders come to town. Then it seems as if the devil himself has appeared among them.

Jenny Bowen's Wish You Happy Forever (HarperOne) tells the story of China's momentous progress in its treatment of orphaned and abandoned children. To this day, Bowen is the only Westerner working with the Chinese government to transform its entire child welfare system from the inside, and her Half the Sky Foundation, with 52 children's centers throughout the country, has helped more than 100,000 children. Bowen's beautifully written memoir, Wish You Happy Forever, teaches us that saving a child's life can transcend language and cultural barriers, and that, above all else, a determined dreamer with a loving presence speaks at the greatest volume.
