“Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” - George Bernard Shaw Determined to create their personal vision of paradise, Martin and Jenifer Thomas move far from their original home in New Zealand to a tiny village in the heart of the Italian countryside. Believing simply that anything is possible, they embrace la dolce vita – the good life – and set about transforming an old schoolhouse into an enchanting villa. Their desire to live further apart from the ‘real world’ leads them to search for an island of their own. They find it in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Nicaragua. Here, undaunted by the multitude of challenges they face, they establish their own little Eden. Slice of Heaven is positive, inspiring, and highly entertaining. It is not without tragedy – on the grandest scale – but to this unusual family, life is about moving forward, about daring to have dreams, and turning them into reality.

An Uplifting Journey,
By Desire'e Upperton "Maramatanga" (Kaikohe, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slice of Heaven: A family on the move (Paperback)
I highly recommend this uplifting and courageous story of a family who look adversity in the face, conquer it and move on.
Their journey takes them from New Zealand(Aotearoa)to Italy and on to create their island of paradise in Nicaragua. Dreams can come true, with a little imagination and thinking outside of the box. The Thomas family have proven this. 'Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.' George Bernard Shaw

Fantastic vision and quest for a life other than the mainstream,

This review is from: Slice of Heaven: A family on the move (Paperback)
As I researched this author and Little Eden Cay, I was greatly surprised to find this glimpse into the life of such a unique family. I found myself intrigued with the similarities with my own family but also educated by some of the ideologies of life that Martin shares with his readers. He is truly a visionary family man and has established a place in my personal encyclopedia of role models for the future. This book is a fast, easy read. It is indulging tale and as many of the other reviews detail - inspirational and admirable.

Lovely, Aromatic, and Inspiring.,
This review is from: Slice of Heaven: A family on the move (Paperback)
I am the kind of person who doesn't really like to read so much but this is one book I can say I thoroughly enjoyed. It seems that this family has a habit of putting their faith to the test, and getting wonderful results. The authors ability to convey their experiences and situations from multiple angles, gives the whole adventure a rich and colorful backdrop, which they managed to create for themselves.
A great book.
