A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

In a small New England town, two boys—John Wheelwright and his best friend, Owen Meany—are bound together by fate after a tragic accident changes their lives forever. Owen, a tiny boy with a commanding voice and unshakable faith, believes he is God’s instrument, destined for a purpose he cannot yet see. As they grow up amidst the turbulence of the Vietnam era, John wrestles with faith, friendship, and the mystery of Owen’s extraordinary conviction. Both heartbreaking and redemptive, this is a profound story of belief, destiny, and the power of a single life to alter the course of many.
