When a young Girl gets lost in the woods, she has only her Sony Walkman for comfort.
And when the reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is right there with her--the protector from an enemy who may or may not be imagined...one who is watching her, waiting for her in the dense, dark woods....
For solace, she tunes her headphones to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox baseball games and follows the gritty performances of her hero, relief pitcher Tom Gordon.
As night falls, Trisha has only her ingenuity as a defense against the elements, and only her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fears.
But when Trisha briefly wanders off by herself, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror.
The question is, is there something threatening in the woods? Or not? The acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller from Stephen King--a frightening suspense novel about a young Girl who becomes lost in the woods as night falls.
During a six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, nine-year-old Trisha McFarland quickly tires of the constant bickering between her older brother and her recently divorced mother.
She is a huge fan of Tom Gordon, a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, so she listens to a game and he becomes a character in her mind.
