Grace Gervais is John Gervais’s mother. She and her son appear to have a mutually antagonistic relationship that often results in open hostility.
She appears to be in her mid-70s and very sickly. When Zac Dryden first encounters her (Volume 2: Sleepless), she is confined to a wheelchair and extremely thin. Her bedroom in the house she shares with John is filled with medical equipment and Zac believes she may be in hospice care.

Little is known about Grace Gervais at this point. Until recently, she was married to Max Gervais and they were raising John Gervais on a remote island in upper New Hampshire. Following their divorce, Max relocated to Chicago while Grace and John moved to the Pacific Northwest and settled in Castle Rock. The reason for their divorce is unknown.
Grace and John share a shabby and remote rental property to the west of Castle Rock. Grace appears to be housebound at this location.
Grace has a particular interest in the archaeological work of Robert Dryden and, along with John, has read all his books about ancient Greece. Upon meeting Zac Dryden for the first time, Grace began kissing his hands and muttering, “We are blessed, we are blessed, we are blessed…” It is not clear why Grace reacted this way, but it spooked Zac and John only complicated matters when he revealed that his mother believes the Drydens are “special.” It is very important to Grace that John get close to the Drydens for reasons still unknown.

Despite her frailty, Grace appears to be concerned with her physical appearance to the point of vanity. Before being introduced to Zac Dryden, Grace makes he and John wait on the roadside for twenty minutes. When they are finally allowed to enter the house, they discover that Grace used the time to put on makeup and a thick pink robe to hide her appearance.
Grace’s bedroom is filled with expensive medical equipment even though she and John live in a very run-down house in the country.
