Read by John Lithgow

Pulitzer Prize winning author Anne Tyler gives us the powerfully poignant story of a young man's guilt over his brother's death and of his years of effort at atonement.

Baltimore - home of the "apple pie" Bedlow family.  At 17, Ian, the youngest, has the usual dreams of the future.  But he also has a secret that sparks a fatal tragedy - and from that moment on, nothing in Ian's life will ever be the same as he painfully pursues redemption.  His journey will begin with the Church of the Second Chance, whose philosophy is that forgiveness must be earned.  It will move through the therapeutic discovery of his own creative abilities.  

And finally, it will culminate in Ian's healing through the lure of big-boned Rita who burst into the Bedlow's lives and sweeps away the cobwebs.

Review:
Tyler makes things look so easy that she never gets enough credit, yet she portrays everyday Americans with such humor, grace and, ultimately, emotional force that her books are always deeply satisfying. In Saint Maybe her protagonist Ian Bedloe, stricken with guilt over the death of his older brother, raises three children unrelated to him by blood. He is strengthened in this Herculean task by the storefront Church of the Second Chance, to which he devotes himself with equal fervor. Someone once said all great writers are comic writers. Among living Americans, Tyler is exhibit A.
From the Back Cover:
"Saint Maybe is vintage Tyler, delicately stamped, like a watermark, with her intimate and unmistakable voice...Ian Bedloe sits near the top of Ms. Tyler's fine list of heroes...An arresting novel."
--The New York Times Book Review
