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.

A woman reveals her most intimate fantasy...

a stolen secret which could lead to murder!




A strait-laced patient in San Diego running
for District Attorney is threatened by a midnight
phone caller who knows her dirty secret--her
fantasy of living as a prostitute--a secret she
shared only with Dr. Cory Cohen. After confronting
her therapist, she vanishes.

As Cory wrestles with her patient's disappearance,
the security breach and the potential
harmful effects on other patients, events escalate.
A patient is blackmailed. Cory is stalked,
and her quarters burgled, forcing her to escape
an unseen enemy and sending her on a spiraling trail of deceit,
betrayal, blackmail and murder.


Book #2 of the Dr. Cory Cohen Mysteries


"A genuine page-turner in the best sense. Her years as a
psychologist have earned Ceren a look at the darkness of the psyche
and human behavior. Psychologist-sleuth--Cory Cohen--is both
compassionate and tough. A strong, heartfelt work from a writer we
will be hearing a lot more about."

--T. Jefferson Parker, three-time Edgar-winning author


"A haunting tale of ambition and betrayal that tests the strength
and ethical convictions of an engaging heroine. At every treacherous
turn a cunning and dangerous assailant tries to make Cory choose
between the welfare of her patients and her own life. A chilling read."

--Kris Neri, Agatha-nominated author
