Heart of Fire

What happens when a young girl is playing hide-and-seek with her cousin and her special hiding place suddenly turns into an exploding inferno? Nine-year-old Lesia Cartelli lived through the total demolition of her grandparent’s home that resulted in burns covering 50 percent of her body and face.

You will discover her scars are her gift as you learn quickly that Lesia Cartelli attracts people to her heart.

Heart of Fire takes you on a roller coaster ride.

As Lesia recovers, valuable lessons surface. She is the founder and guiding light of Angel Faces (AngelFaces.com), an international nonprofit life-changing organization that creates retreats and ongoing support for adolescents and young women who have severe burn/trauma injuries. Her personal goal is for us to embrace trauma, not
allow it to define us.

Heart of Fire is beautifully written with the clarity of what a young girl endured; and her extraordinary insight with humor. Lesia Cartelli makes the differences in millions of lives … and she will in yours, too.
