Home School Book Review on Hiking the Grand Mesa

Torke, Kyle.  Hiking the Grand Mesa: A Clementine the Rescue Dog Story (Published in 2020  by Loving Healing Press, 5145  Pontiac Trail, Ann Arbor, MI  48205).   Two young boys, Coover and Conrad, go with their Grandma and their mighty rescue dog, Clementine, on a desert adventure.  They hike through the southern Colorado Dobies, a series of steep hills made from adobe clay that formed as the nearby volcanoes, now extinct, eroded.  Their goal is to explore one of the most unique landscapes in Colorado–the Grand Mesa. At first, Coover seems a little sad and lonely at the apparently barren and solitary landscape, but Grandma introduces him to the rich wildlife, both plant and animal, around them, and both boys go tramping through an imaginative journey.  What will they see?  Where will they go?  And what will they do?

Hiking the Grand Mesa is a nature lover’s dream.  Beginning readers will be fascinated by the vivid history of the area as described in author Kyle Torke’s clear, detailed text, and by the beautiful scenery depicted in illustrator Barbara Torke’s gorgeous watercolor paintings.

This fun and insightful story is a wonderful, challenging reading experience with vocabulary development, contextual learning, and the encouragement of imagination.  From woodpeckers and toads, to cattails and sunflowers, youngsters will be awakened to a whole new world.  The first book in the series is Ice Breaking: The Adventures of Clementine the Rescue Dog.

Are you ready to finally recover your peace of mind?


We are living in a time where betrayal abounds. Tragically, most of know or know of someone who has been scarred by the betrayal bandit.
In whatever form it takes (financial, political, personal, social, legal, environmental, cultural, etc.), no one is immune from
the infectious waves of betrayal moving through our society. Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering the Peace Within is for any individual who has experienced or is experiencing betrayal, who carries the wounds or scars of betrayal injury, and who is struggling to break through its bonds. Betrayal has known us far longer than we have known it; it is time to change that. Readers of this book will be challenged to:

  • Explore the different kinds of betrayal while connecting with the experiences of others.
  • Unravel the emotions and behaviors that accompany betrayal injury and explore the factors which contribute to the intensity and duration of symptoms.
  • Empower yourself by embracing an interactive healing process tailored specifically for recovery from betrayal injury.
  • Revive and restore your mind, body, and spirit through a series of activities, exercises, and self-assessments which provide tools for renewal, as well as working through relapse or re-injury.
  • Reclaim your rightful sense of self.



    Therapists Praise Breaking Through Betrayal


    "Useful for anyone caught in self-blame, shame or repeated victimization. Though almost the antithesis of my
    inner-transformation approach, this empowering 'in-control' approach can help readers take charge,
    assess injury, gauge healing and find excellent strategies to protect themselves from future trauma when
    relating to one's betrayer."

    --Beth Hedva, Ph.D. author of award-winning Betrayal, Trust and Forgiveness


    "This volume deals with the subject of betrayal, and is appropriate as a self-help
    aid for clients. It also contains useful suggestions for therapists dealing with those
    who have experienced betrayal of trust of several kinds: interpersonal, familial,
    sexual, and financial. The steps in the healing process are well outlined and make
    clear that relapse is to be expected. Overlap with loss and the grief process is also
    well discussed."

    --Lucy R. Ferguson, Ph.D., Member, AFTNC

    Faculty Member and Dean Emerita, CSPP, Alliant University
