Meant to Be (Paperback) by Rita Coburn Whack
 When Meant to Be opens, thirteen-year-old Patience Jan Campbell is called upon to read and interpret her favorite scripture for the church congregation: "I think this scripture means that children know every shut eye ain't sleep and every head bowed ain't praying, so grown-ups ain't fooling us or God . . . So nobody should hold a child back from God just 'cause they may be having trouble finding Him."
But a traumatice experience causes Jan to stumble and lose her "voice." Unable to turn to those around her, she calls for her grandmother Hannah--who died before Jan was born--in prayer. Unbeknownst to Jan, Hannah does come, and through her wise eyes we follow Jan into her early twenties as she moves to the big city, goes to college, and begins a career. A reflective father, a misunderstood mother, a sage aunt, and two pivotal lovers all build emotional bridges that help jan progress on her journey to womanhood.
