"In the summer of 1953, two eleven-year-old boys - best friends - are playing a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire; one of the boys hits a foul ball that kills his best friend's mother.  the boy who hit 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."
