Little was mentioned about his involvement in his familial duties and his relationship with his children. This created a gap between the father and his children and turned him into a far-fetched person for them. Anne Tyler(1941-), a southern female writer presents a new image of fathers. She highlights the role of the father within the family and gives an insight to the way fathers think. This paper deals with Tyler's novel Saint Maybe (1991), exploring the character of Ian Bedloe, an unmarried person whose mistake leads him to lose his only brother, Danny. He suffers for his mistake and tries to make up for it by taking care of his brother's children offering a new image of fatherhood. لطالما تم اعتبار دور الأب في العائلة كمعيل و لم يتم ذكر الكثير عن واجباته المنزلية تجاه أفراد عائلته حيث ولد هذا الشيء فجوة بين الأب و أبناءه. تقدم تايلر (1941- ), و هي روائية من الجنوب صورة جديدة عن شخصية الأب كما تسلط الضوء على دور الأب في عائلته يتناول هذا البحث رواية تايلر, القديس ربما (1991) التي تتقصى شخصية إيان بيدلو و هو رجل غير متزوج يقوده خطأه إلى فقدان أخيه داني. يعاني من هذا الفقدان كثيرا لذلك يحاول أن يصلح ما ارتكبه بأن يعتني بأولاد أخيه المتوفي مقدما صورة جديدة عن الأبوة.
