Chapter 23

Early the next morning I drove my mother to the Pentecostal camp in the old Mercedes Benz. She was humming to herself. Madame stood on her lap, keeping her nose out the window.

At this early hour, the worship service was sparse. A wiry man stood with his family on stage, speaking about obedience and grace. My mother sidled over to the electric organ, swaying with the melody. Madame ran into the fields, and I sat in the row farthest from the stage. After fifteen minutes, when the man still talking and my mother was still dancing, I snuck out of the tabernacle, running across the campground like a refugee.

But when I got to the big black car, Madame was there.

I stared at her. She was uncanny.

"No," I said, opening the door. "You have to stay here."

She jumped into the driver's seat.

"Madame. Out."

She lifted her paw, placing it on the steering wheel.
