About This Book
"The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted"
is the first sentence of this extraordinary new novel.
Eager to escape the bickering of her recently-divorced mother and her
older brother, Pete, nine-year-old Trisha McFarland wanders off the main
path of the Appalachian Trail between Maine and New Hampshire, where
they have embarked on a weekend outing. As she tries to take a short-cut
to catch up to her family, she strays further from the trail and deeper
into the second-growth, untrodden woods, where she has no means of
navigation and little defense against the elements.
Bruised, battered, and riddled with wasp and mosquito bites, Trisha
elevates her spirits and preserves her connection with civilization by
tuning into the radio station that broadcasts the Boston Red Sox games.
She spends her first night alone, listening as her hero — #36, the
closing pitcher Tom Gordon, whose jersey and baseball cap she wears on
her hiking trip — strikes out the Yankees. She imagines him as her
companion, and tunes into his games sporadically, as she braves
treacherous slopes and fetid swamps, bacteria-ridden (and
vomit-inducing) water, insatiable insects, extremes of New England
weather, and many, many, lonely, uncomfortable, terrifying nights.
Stalked by an unidentified creature that leaves slaughtered animals and
mangled trees in its wake, Trisha bravely follows the river — and her
instincts — in the hope of surviving. A classic tale that combines
elements of adventure and spiritual awe, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
engages our hearts and minds at the most primal level.
