Steven King is the author of many horror novels, such as pet Cemetery, and Misery. Although The Girl who loved Tom Gordon is one of his less-known novels, it still brings immediate suspense and thrill. Nine year old Red Sox loving Trisha McFarland and her family takes a hike along the Appalachian. While hiking, she strays off the trail from her bickering brother and mother.
As Trisha tries to make her way back to her family, she loses hope with every misfortunate incident. While night begins to fall on her, she finds and clings to life on a small radio that tunes into her precious baseball games. Hoping that her hero, Tom Gordon, will make a save that will save her.
While the story progresses, Trisha learns how to live off in the woods, except that something dangerous is lurking after her and she knows it. With every horrifically mangled animal she walks by, she learns to hide from the creature coming for her. After several days she begins seeing Tom himself, once her radio loses signal. As Trish begins to lose hope in getting home, she comes face to face with the creature after finding traces of getting home.
