From the text:
"I didn't know that Mama believed in God until I heard her in the bathroom in the airport praying. Just praying like she did it all the time—talking to God like he was her friend Caroline and they were having lunch downtown. She acted like she knew God, had spoken to him before and everything."
Toning the Sweep, pg. 5
