Tyler, Anne
A Patchwork Planet
Paperback; Good
Barnaby Gaitlin is 30. He has yet to graduate from college, is already divorced, and is used to defeat. His mother thrives on reminding him of his adolescent delinquency and debt to his family, and even his daughter is fed up with his fecklessness. Still, attuned as he is to the normal quota for misfortune, Barney is one of the star employees of Baltimore's Rent-a-Back, Inc. , which pays him an hourly wage to help old people (and one young agoraphobe) run errands and sort out their basements and attics. There is, for example, the unstoppable little black grandma whose children phoned us on an emergency basis whenever she threatened to overdo. And then there's Barnaby's new girlfriend's aunt, who will eventually accuse him of theft--Over her forearm she carried a Yorkshire terrier, neatly folded like a waiter's napkin. 'This is my doorbell, ' she said, thrusting him toward me. 'I'd never have known you were out here if not for Tatters. ' These people are wonderful creations, but their lives are more brittle than cuddly, Barnaby knows better than to think of them as friends, because they'll only die on him. Yet his job offers at least glimpses of roots and affection. Helping an old lady set up her Christmas tree (on New Year's Eve! ) gives him the chance to hang a singular ornament--a snowflake pancake-sized, slightly crumpled, snipped from gift wrap so old that the Santas were smoking cigarettes. And Barnaby himself is sharp and impatient at painful--and painfully funny--family dinners, apparently unable to keep his finger off the auto-self-destruct button every time his life improves.

Ladder of Years
Paperback; Good
At 40, Delia Grinstead seems more likely to have an attack of anxiety, or of whimsy, than to become a runaway wife. Yet, in Tyler's 13th beguiling novel, Delia's impulse to escape her disapproving physician husband and three surly children turns into an adventure that sweeps her from her staid Baltimore orbit into a new existence as Ms. Grinstead, spinster, in the Delaware community of Bay Borough. It's the unexamined life that's Delia's problem, and when she finally strips away layers of hurt, resentment, guilt and anger, she confronts her inner self and begins to deal with the chronic insecurity that has kept her childlike, flighty and dependent. Gradually, she becomes part of her new community, and has the courage to take a job caring for Noah Miller, an appealing 12-year-old whose mother has also run away from home and family. Over the course of a year, Delia discards her timorous personality and gains an understanding of the person she wants to be.

Saint Maybe
Paperback; Good
Minor dings on top end of spine. Barely there creasing on front cover. The Bedloes are cheerful and count their blessings, even if they are far from rich and live on a slightly seedy street in Baltimore. But when 17-year-old Ian rashly informs his older brother Dan that the latter's wife was undoubtedly pregnant before their marriage, Dan commits suicide, and Ian is left with profound guilt--especially since Dan's wife dies soon after. Asking God's forgiveness, he receives spiritual guidance at the endearingly shabby Church of the Second Chance. He drops out of college, becomes a carpenter and helps his parents care for the three orphaned children; as the years pass, that burden falls primarily on Ian's shoulders. Wondering when God will signal that his atonement can end, Ian has an epiphany: You could never call it a penance, to have to care for those three. Ian eventually does construct a life for himself.
