SSR book: A prayer for Owen Meany

I just fell in love with another book. This book is about two bestfriends who live their adolescent years together with heartache. One of the boys named Owen Meany is a very, very intellegent guy whose family works at their granite company. He is physically small for his age and he has a sqeaky high pitched voice and people make fun of him all the time. His best friend John is a normal kid whose life makes a 180 when his mother dies. When the bestfriends were at baseball game, Owen was up to bat and no one expected someone with such a little physique to actually hit the ball and succeed. Then all of a sudden, everyones attention is directed to him when he hits the ball with extraordinary force. The hit makes an increible sound and everyones follows the ball with their eyes as it goes high into the air.Unfortunately the ball hits John's mother in her temple causing her to fall to the ground immediately and she died. Now Owen feels great remorse and the story tells about the two boys lives after this event and tells how they deal with it. Owen felt that he had a reason to be alive and that he was God's instrument. Some one who was underestimated from the start became very powerful and the book follows his story. I absolutely love this book and would highly reccomend this book to anyone who hasn't read it
