Reviewed by Rachel Dehning for Readers View (6/20)

Holli Kenley’s latest book, Pilates for Parenting, is an important and impactful read. I had never heard of the correlation made between exercise and parenting, but Kenley flows the two together effortlessly. Much like exercise is important for the positive functioning of your body, learning to “stretch,” “strengthen,” and “balance” your parenting techniques is important for the positive functioning of your relationships.

Understanding the importance of exercise to strengthen your body, it only makes sense that for something as important as parenting, there should be workouts for it as well. We should think of Kenley as our trainer; her routine initially includes a warmup, much like a personal pep talk, followed by a workout for each parenting topic, which includes two to three exercises to perform in each workout. The workouts are meant to be done purposefully, so rushing and not putting your heart into the work is not proper grounds to move forward.

Kenley includes research to back up her claims about the proper parenting styles and the obstacles that parents must overcome in this day and age, namely, technology and social media. She includes three Appendixes at the end to aid us parents who need her help and refreshingly speaks openly about personal experiences that pertain to each topic.

Holli Kenley’s “Pilates for Parenting” can be used by any parent raising children in today’s society. I love that in the book, she emphasizes the fact that even if the reader starts discovering things they need to work on, that you shouldn’t let that keep you down- learning to forgive and correct is part of the journey. She writes inclusively and with compassion. I can’t say enough good things about her and this book because if people will take her words to heart, it is true that not only family relationships will improve, but also relationships in the community and around the world.

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
