Saint Maybe
Preview: Hear it

Saint Maybe is the rich and absorbing story of a young mans guilt over his brothers death and his struggle to atone for the wrong he feels he has done.On a quiet street in Baltimore in 1965, seventeenyearold Ian Bedloe lives with his family in an ideal, applepie household, enjoying the comfort of family traditions and indulging in all the usual dreams of the future. Until one night, when Ians stinging words to his brother bring tragedy and from that careless moment on nothing can ever be the same.Anne Tyler takes us along Ians painful and poignant quest for forgiveness, from the Church of the Second Chance to Ians gratifying, solitary work as a carpenter. Raising the three children that are thrust on him, he finds himself amazed, drowning in family and duty. Then, out of the very heart of the domestic clutter, a light begins to flash.
