I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice--not because
of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or
even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but
because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because
of Owen Meany.
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.
