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. \n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins, 2012","offers":[{"title":"A Prayer for Owen Meany A Novel \/ Good","offer_id":54064755999012,"sku":"9780062204097GD","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/3245073482210.jpg?v=1779987691","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780062204097","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
