Synopsis

In this novel from Stephen King, we meet Trisha McFarland, a plucky 9-year-old girl who gets lost while hiking with her brother and mom. We follow her as she goes from just a little nervous to terrified, running out of food and water, and aware of something dark tracking her through the woods. Rather different from his normal works, the focus of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is not on supernatural elements, but more on the psychological battle to survive.
