Synopsis "The Girl who Loved tom Gordon "

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. But when Trisha briefly wanders off by herself, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror. 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. 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. 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...

Since then, he has published more than 60 novels and hundreds of short stories, many under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, with iconic titles such as The Shining, IT, Misery, The Dark Tower, Pet Sematary, and The Green Mile, many of which have been successfully adapted into films and television. His narrative, characterized by exploring the darkest corners of the human mind and society, has sold over 500 million copies and has been translated into dozens of languages.

Throughout his career, King has received numerous accolades, including the National Book Award for contributions to American literature (2003), the National Medal of Arts (2015), and dozens of Bram Stoker, World Fantasy, British Fantasy, and Edgar awards, among others.
