The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

by Stephen King; Peter Abrahams; Alan Dingman

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.

Media 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."

First Line

The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. At ten o'clock on a morning in early June she was sitting in the back of her mother's Dodge Caravan, wearing her blue Red Sox batting practice jersey (the one with 36 GORDON on the back) and playing with Mona, her doll. At ten thirty she was lost in the woods. By eleven she was trying not to be terrified, trying not to let herself think, "This is serious, this is very serious." Trying not to think that sometimes when people got lost in the woods they got seriously hurt. Sometimes they died.
