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 young artist awakes one morning alone in an empty house, with no memory of her identity or location. Puzzled and terrified, she
finds Dr. Cory's business card in a purse. While the psychologist/sleuth tries to help the artist revive her memory, Cory's neighbor
Rita goes missing. Uncovering Rita's real identity, Cory's detection abilities spring into action to confront a menace that haunts
their neighborhood.

Written by a longtime psychologist, this fourth volume in the Dr. Cory Cohen mystery series, set on the San Diego coast,
offers a genuine portrayal of a psychologist's professional life combined with the thrill and intrigue of a mystery.


Praise for the Dr. Cory Cohen Mystery Series

"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


"Another exciting, engrossing psychological thriller from a favorite author. The well-defined characters and intrigue create a
compelling page-turner to the very end."

--Holly A. Hunt, PhD, psychologist, author, speaker


"...a good, fun thriller that packs in a whole lot of themes, in a way that doesn't clash. While being entertained, the reader
is likely to get some education on the professional life of a psychologist and the effect of trauma on victims."

Bob Rich, PhD, psychologist and author
