The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble

About this book

Iris Trimble is trying to hold it all together. She may very well fly off the face of the earth if she doesn't hang on to the kitchen counter. At least that's how she feels after her mother, Bernice, a lively, recently widowed fifty-nine-year-old breaks the news that she has Alzheimer's. In an effort to cope with the stress, Iris makes her mother's famous Everything That Is Bad For You Casserole, a childhood favourite. Her siblings, on the other hand, are on opposite sides of the spectrum: Sarah, the eldest, irately demands a second opinion, while Peter, the youngest, seems completely unfazed. As for Bernice, she's still as vivacious as ever, always up for a good laugh, and, most of all, ready to finally put herself first.

I 
can’t 
imagine 
her 
in 
heaven 
because 
I 
don’t 
know 
what 
that 
is. 
For 
me, 
Heaven 
is 
just 
a 
really 
bad 
name 
for 
a 
little 
girl.
I 
guess 
I 
will 
imagine 
her 
as 
one 
of 
those 
particles 
in 
the 
enormous 
expanse 
of 
the 
universe. 
Particles 
spinning 
around 
more 
particles 
spinning 
around 
even 
more 
particles 
in 
an 
endless, 
complicated 
dance 
held 
in 
gravity’s 
loving 
embrace. 
I 
don’t 
know 
how 
to 
say 
gravity 
in 
French, 
but 
what 
I 
do 
know 
is 
that 
gravity 
is 
a 
good 
hugger—it 
keeps 
you 
from 
flying 
off 
the 
earth 
and 
hurtling 
through 
space. 
It 
holds 
you 
for 
a 
brief, 
impermanent 
moment 
and 
then 
pats 
you 
on 
the 
back 
and 
let’s 
you 
go. 
And 
that 
is 
that. . .
