An amazingly brave piece of work ... so extraordinary, so original, and so enriching. . . . Readers will come to the end feeling sorry to leave [this] richly textured and carefully wrought world.” —STEPHEN KING, Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n 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, one of literary fiction’s most unforgettable characters, believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":51107626713335,"sku":"YSL2331","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/4254\/8727\/files\/ebook_2331_f59779710b.jpg?v=1788412051","url":"https:\/\/kidobook.store\/products\/a-prayer-for-owen-meany-a-novel","provider":"KidoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
