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.

If you can recognize your guilt, you can use it for self-improvement

Ask yourself:
  • Do you want to learn how to forgive yourself?
  • Do you want to correct mistakes instead of hiding them?
  • Do you become angry very quickly? (over-reacting)
  • Do you get caught up in blaming and assigning guilt?
  • Do you often ask yourself "Why did I do that?"
  • Are you afraid that if you don't do everything your partner asks then he/she will leave you?
  • Do you often put down or attack others before they can hurt you?
  • Do you sometimes believe that nothing good can come your way?
  • Do you opt-out of responsibility when possible?



    If you answered YES to more than one of these questions, then this book is for you.



    This is the book to help you overcome your unwanted emotional burden. Be ready to embark on a journey of discovery of
    the many different types of guilt and shame. You can use this little book as a manual to overcome emotional
    insecurity issues and to give you a clearer perspective on your own emotions of guilt and shame.

    The exercises in this book will enable you to see yourself as you really are "warts and all" and
    further exercises will help you in eliminating destructive feelings and actions.



    "It is hard to believe how much useful information the author has
    packed into this slender tome."

    --Sam Vaknin, author of Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited
