Saint Maybe traces the subtle, yet complete transformation of Ian Bedloe, a genial 17-year-old paralyzed with guilt after he plays a role in the "accidental" death of his older brother.
The joy of reading Saint Maybe lies largely in its endearing, familiar characters: as in other Tyler novels, they are sometimes foolish, frequently eccentric, and always thoroughly human.
Saint Maybe is both luminous and sublime: a beautiful tribute to the drama of the commonplace.

 Entertainment column by James Breig, Editor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
"Saint Maybe" deals with fundamental topics, like the lingering pain of guilt, the healing power of forgiveness and the often forgotten step that lies between those two: taking responsibility for our actions, even when that responsibility involves self-denial.
The everyday life shown in "Saint Maybe" is our everyday lives: a mom who dusts, a dad who tinkers in the basement, a child who cries in a crib, a teen who dreams of a future far different from the one he chooses to live.
By imbuing that ordinariness with great meaning, "Saint Maybe" tells us that how we decide to live has meaning for us and for others, so we should decide wisely.

 Post Magazine: Saint Maybe (washingtonpost.com)
If Mary Virginia Merrick is to become Washington's first saint, her devotees will need to navigate the convoluted canonization process and produce hard evidence that praying to her has had miraculous results.
The candidate is, in effect, already a saint and is not made a saint by church action.
The first saint officially canonized by Rome was in 993 A.D. I think you are right that the candidate is, in effect, already a saint and the church action merely recognizes that.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Saint Maybe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
When his older brother dies, the adolescent Ian takes on the care of three children---all of whom are unrelated to him (altho' there is a slightly possibility that the youngest child is his niece).
For Ian, the "Saint Maybe" of the title, the driving force of life is the Church of the Second Chance, which shows him a way to channel his guilt over complicity in the family tragedy into a constructive effort: being the caring guardian of three children.
The church could be deemed fundamentalist, but really it's a kinder, gentler fundamentalism: the minister doesn't preach hellfire and damnation to nonbelievers, but rather tells his flock to lead exemplary lives; doesn't rail against gays or feminists, but instead forbids members to consume caffeine or sugar.

 Saint Maybe - Draining the Swinelord Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Perhaps I should refuse the temptation to call Saint Maybe a band.
However, the sheer number of tracks does mean the overall result is somewhat hit or miss, as it is with most indie artists who delve into the world of the 4-track and then make it public access.
But under the tape hiss there are various moments of worthiness, and in this situation more than any other, it’s purely down to the individual what can be taken from the Saint Maybe song experiments.

When Ian Bedloe heard the sound of his older brother's car crashing, he knew that he would never again have the same innocent existence he had enjoyed for 18 years.
