Stephen King continues to thrill his immense fanbase--the Constant Readers--with monster best sellers year after year. It was just announced that an unprecedented 14 projects are in development adapting his work to film and television.
This is a decent copy of the 1983 The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. This is a first printing, so stated. Plans for a film adaptation of the story have finally been realized.
Nine-year-old Trisha McFarland strays from the path while she and her recently divorced mother and brother take a hike along a branch of the Appalachian Trail. Lost for days, wandering farther and farther astray, Trisha has only her portable radio for comfort. A huge fan of Tom Gordon, a Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, she listens to baseball games and fantasizes that her hero will save her. Nature isn't her only adversary, though - something dangerous may be tracking Trisha through the dark woods.
