“I try to believe," she said, "that God doesn't give you more
than one little piece of the story at once. You know, the story of
your life. Otherwise your heart would crack wider than you could
handle. He only cracks it enough so you can still walk, like
someone wearing a cast. But you've still got a crack running up
your side, big enough for a sapling to grow out of. Only no one
sees it. Nobody sees it. Everybody thinks you're one whole piece,
and so they treat you maybe not so gentle as they could see that
crack.” ― Rebecca Wells, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
