  “When I was growing up, Grandmama used to say, ‘The Lord works in mysterious ways’ or ‘He might not be there when you want Him, but He’s always right on time.’ Evie used to say, ‘God will do to you what He feels like needs to be done to you.’ Then Grandmama would tell Evie to hush and remind her that getting left by a man was not the worst thing that ever happened to somebody. And Evie would say, ‘It’s the worst thing that ever happened to me.’ She said it so much that she came down with lupus. ‘God wanted me to see what misery really was,’ Evie said.” – Tayari Jones, An American Marriage (2018, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill)
