description -
Saint Maybe (1991) by American novelist Anne Tyler is a family saga about an upper-middle class family in Baltimore, Maryland, and their reaction to a sudden death in the family. It is the 12th novel by Ms. Tyler. The novel was praised for its characterization of normal American life and questioning the nature of the family unit. Saint Maybe was adapted, in 1998, into a popular Hallmark movie.
 
The narrative begins with 17-year-old Ian Bedloe, the youngest member of the Bedloe family. He’s affable and well-liked, though fairly ordinary compared to his brother who is a decade older than him, and who is a football star and all-around “golden child,” or his sister, who greatly succeeds in academics.
