Upstream, by Mary Oliver

While I enjoy Mary Oliver's poetry, I wasn't sure what to expect from her essays. I did enjoy many of them, but began to find them kind of repetetive; or maybe it's just that she's so brilliant and some of it was over my head. *shrug*
I Cheerfully Refuse, by Leif Enger

If dystopian along with not knowing the whole story appeals to you, this is right up your alley. Signature Leif Enger style, within a whole new genre. Fantastic character development and compelling plot.
Her kindness was like water over smooth stones.
