A young girl learns a valuable lesson about disappointment,
acceptance, silver linings, and unexpected opportunities.
Sometimes in life, children (and adults!) want something so badly that
they can't let go of the idea that what they want is "meant to be."
This story, based on a real-life experience, follows a young girl named
Macey through the process of losing something that she thought was meant
for her. On the other side of disappointment and heartache, Macey learns
that sometimes losing out on what we thought we wanted opens the door
for something just as good-or even better!
Is It Meant to Be? is based on a true story that happened to the
author, Kristina, and her family. One night, at their ranch in Idaho, a
dog showed up out of nowhere. The family all fell in love with him and
felt that he had come to them for a reason. It seemed like he was meant
to be their dog. The events that happened after that and the lessons
they learned in the process inspired Kristina to write this book.
