Blurb:: In the summer of 1953, two eleven-year-old boys, best friends, are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy"s mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn"t believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God"s instrument. What happens to Owen, after that 1953 foul ball, is extraordinary and terrifying.
