I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice--not because
of his voice, or because he was the smallest personI ever knew, or
even because he was the instrument of my mother'sdeath, 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 theother
boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe
inaccidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument.
Whathappens to Owen, after that 1953 foul ball, is
extraordinary.
