Synopsis
Trisha McFarland, a 9-year-old Red Sox fan, accidentally gets separated from her mother and brother while hiking on the Appalachian Trail. As she wanders the wilderness trying to find her way back, her only companions are the baseball games that she hears on her Walkman and, with her batteries running low and her paranoia running high, a hallucination of Red Sox pitcher Tom Gordon.

Publisher's Note
A young girl who lost in the woods with only her Walkman for comfort listens to a Boston Red Sox game for comfort while a multitude of thoughts concerning her parents' newly divorced status runs through her mind. There may be something threatening in the woods, then again, there may not be. . . .


Industry reviews
"[King is] an elegant writer and a master of pacing. Here he's at his best when he keeps the creepy elements to a minimum and concentrates on the girl-against-nature tale....THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON isn't going to keep die-hard horror fans up at night, but adventure addicts will find plenty of thrills."
