When the Misfit is about to kill her, she prays to Jesus, who answers her prayers by bestowing grace upon her. Such grace transforms the grandmother’s perception of reality as she now says to the Misfit, “Why you're one of my babies. You're one of my own children.” By declaring that the Misfit is one of her own, the grandmother realizes the interconnectedness

She described herself as a “Catholic peculiarly possessed of the modern consciousness” (qtd. in Hubbard 38) and stated that “the best of [her] work sounded like the old testament would sound if it were being written today” (qtd. in Kreyling 85)
