Description: Owen Meany knew what was going to happen in his life. In John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany," the young man who grew up in New Hampshire in the 1950's dealt with issues many others could never understand. Yet his love for his best friend Johnny never flagged, and Owen spent his life trying to give something to Johnny never knew he needed. "Owen Meany" is a book written in 1989, but reveals thoughtful universal truths from beginning to end.
