Carving a Piece of Heaven is the true story of Faliana Lee’s personal journey of recovery
from family violence.
Sadly many who are trapped in a violent relationship are also victims from childhood
abuse, as was the case in Faliana’s life. The experience of family violence in her marriage
added to the pain, yet the acceptance of God in her life as a young child protected her from
being resentful, unforgiving and bitter. The reassurance that she is loved by God kept her
sane, even as others around her were depleting that love constantly by adding continual
emotional abuse.
Carving a Piece of Heaven offers hope to those who are in violent relationships - both
men and women - that complete recovery is possible. The effect of family violence does not
stop when one leaves the relationship. Faliana shares her own story and offers guidance to
show others the road from abuse to freedom.

means building a house that no storm can destroy.” Larry Crabb
