    Bad Sex

    by Nona Willis Aronowitz

    At a time when sex has never been more accepted and feminism has never been more mainstream, Teen Vogue sex and love columnist Nona Willis Aronowitz asked herself: What, exactly, do I want? And are my sexual and romantic desires even possible? Bad Sex is Nona’s own journey to sexual satisfaction and romantic happiness, which not only lays bare the triumphs and flaws of contemporary feminism but also shines a light on universal questions of desire. This blend of memoir, social history, and cultural criticism probes the meaning of desire and sexual freedom today.

    All That Moves Us

    by Jay Wellons

    For a pediatric neurosurgeon working in the minefield of the brain every day presents the challenge, and the opportunity, to give a new lease on life to a child for whom nothing is yet fully determined and all possibilities still exist. Dr. Jay Wellons pulls back the curtain to bring the high-stakes drama of the operating room to life with astonishing candor and honest compassion. All That Moves Us is an unforgettable portrait of the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern children’s hospital—and a meditation on the marvel of life as seen from under the white-hot lights of the operating room.

    All Down Darkness Wide

    by Seán Hewitt

    When Seán Hewitt meets Elias, the two fall headlong into a love story. But as Elias struggles with severe mental illness, they soon come face-to-face with crisis. All Down Darkness Wide is a perceptive and unflinching meditation on the burden of living in a world that too often sets happiness and queer life at odds, and a tender and honest portrayal of what it’s like to be caught in the undertow of a loved one’s deep depression. As lives are made and unmade, this memoir asks what love can endure and what it cannot.

    The Light We Give

    by Simran Jeet Singh

    As a boy growing up in South Texas, Simran Jeet Singh and his brothers confronted racism daily. Despite the prejudice and hate he faced, this self-described “turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh” refused to give in to negativity. Instead, Singh delved deep into the Sikh teachings that he grew up with and embraced the lessons to seek the good in every person and situation and to find positive ways to direct his energy. The Light We Give lays out how we can learn to integrate ethical living to achieve personal happiness and a happier life. Part memoir, part spiritual journey, this is a transformative book of hope that shows how each of us can turn from fear and uncertainty and move toward renewal and positive change.
