Arms & legs : a novel / by Lane, Chloe,1982-author.;
"A taut and suspenseful domestic drama that explodes the comforting and constricting confines of marriage and early parenthood. In a Florida almost claustrophobic with life, Georgie's marriage has stagnated. But there's no room to attend to it, as dangers small and large crowd in: teeth break, her son can't find his words, there's something in her husband's eye, termites swarm the neighbourhood, and she finds a dead boy in the burning woods. And then -- there's Jason. As the repercussions of her discovery of the body, and her affair, come to land, Georgie digs deep, examining the undercurrents of her actions with curiosity, humour, and cutting emotional intelligence. Arms & Legs is a deliriously insightful excavation of love, desire, parenthood, and relationships at their best, and worst."--

It's okay, just ask / by Carlos, Monique Leonardo.; Perera, Salini,1986-;
"An immigration story that gently conveys that curiosity, open-mindedness, and acceptance have the power to overcome fear, close-mindedness, and rejection. It's Okay, Just Ask is the story of a child who immigrates with her family (older sister and parents) to a new place and faces the uncertainties, fears, and wonder that come with a big change in the middle of childhood. The story is loosely based on the author's own move to Canada from the Philippines with her family seven years ago and the ways her own two children experienced and coped with the transition. The narrative follows the family's move through snapshot glimpses into the child's experiences as she tries to find her place in this new home and community. Each time she faces a new uncertainty-on the plane when she notices that her mother is quieter than usual, or when she has questions about an unfamiliar monument in her new country, or when she wonders about the differences between herself and her new classmates-she listens to (or remembers) her mother's words: It's okay, just ask. This repeated refrain guides her to meet these new hurdles with open-mindedness, curiosity, and courage. And every time she chooses to just ask, she learns something new and her understanding of this transitional phase of her life and her new home, peers, and neighbors grows deeper and more nuanced. This story aims to teach children that it's okay to ask questions when they are unsure of something, especially when it comes to being confident in, open to, and respectful of the differences you notice in others' lives, cultures, and looks compared to your own"--

Annie bot : a novel / by Greer, Sierra,author.;
"Annie Bot was created to be the perfect girlfriend for her human owner Doug. Designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs, she has dinner ready for him every night, wears the pert outfits he orders for her, and adjusts her libido to suit his moods. True, she's not the greatest at keeping Doug's place spotless, but she's trying to please him. She's trying hard. She's learning, too. Doug says he loves that Annie's AI makes her seem more like a real woman, so Annie explores human traits such as curiosity, secrecy, and longing. But becoming more human also means becoming less perfect, and as Annie's relationship with Doug grows more intricate and difficult, she starts to wonder: Does Doug really desire what he says he wants? And in such an impossible paradox, what does Annie owe herself?"--

Anatomy of desire : five secrets to create connection and cultivate passion / by Jamea, Emily,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Combining over fifteen years of clinical experience with her groundbreaking research into the science of flow, Dr. Emily Jamea's Anatomy of Desire delivers a fresh perspective on the untapped potential of our sex lives, intimate partner connections, and personal wellbeing. "Dr. Emily Jamea makes difficult issues simple and accessible via her central tenet that expressing our authentic sexual selves is not about venturing into the unknown but rather searching within ourselves and tapping into our innate, albeit uncultivated, sexual potential. Dr. Emily guides us on this journey with care and curiosity"-Ian Kerner, PhD LMFT, NY Times best-selling author of She Comes First The experience of effortlessness, total absorption, and loss of space and time are feelings that everyone wants to enjoy while making love. However, regardless of everyone's desire for better sex, passion and sexual satisfaction tend to diminish in longer-term relationships. This is a problem because studies consistently show that sexual satisfaction is key to relationship satisfaction. Great sex is something we all deserve. As a seasoned sex and relationship therapist, Dr. Emily Jamea has developed a unique approach for boosting sexual desire and pleasure. Anatomy of Desire identifies five secrets (sensuality, curiosity, adaptability, vulnerability, and attunement) that help her clients transform sex from sub-par to extraordinary. Woven through each secret is the science of "flow state." Drawing from her first-of-its-kind published research, Dr. Emily teaches readers how to apply the science of flow to get the sex they want despite the challenges of today's modern world. Clients, workshop participants, and hundreds of thousands of social media followers have already benefited from her approach. Dr. Emily Jamea's debut book, Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets to Create Connection and Cultivate Passion makes her novel approach available to everyone"--
