520    In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys--best friends-
       -are playing in a Little League baseball game in New 
       Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills his
       best friend's mother. Owen Meany believes he didn't hit 
       the ball by accident. He believes he is God's instrument. 
       What happens to Owen after 1953 is extraordinary and 
       terrifying.
